Time has changed and so has the old adage. Curiosity doesn’t harm anyone, anymore. In fact, what it really does is that it helps us stay acquainted with the latest in current affairs and all that’s going on in the world around us. Curiosity can unlock great achievements for you. Sometimes, it can help you figure out what may have led to a black hole’s formation in space, while sometimes it makes you grab your remote control and jump to channel 202 on your DIRECTV. Because, at the end of the day, nothing tames a curious mind more than a reliable news source.

And, when it comes to news, for Americans the news-based pay TV channel CNN is 3rd in the line of go-to networks – right behind FOX News and MSNBC – with 90.1 million subscriptions. The network is by no means restricted to the U.S. CNN International is available for viewing in 212 countries worldwide too.

Since being founded in 1980, Ted Turner’s CNN revolutionized the news industry one way or the other – perhaps more so because it was the first 24-hour all-news American channel. In spite of criticism of its rather dramatic coverage of news, which is thought to border on being over-played, and its deliberate effort to come across as non-biased, the fact is CNN is a household name in the U.S.

Critiques could disagree with how CNN came to draw mass attention to everyday news but the ground reality is that CNN did become audiences’ favorite with its ‘Emergency Room’ approach, drawing in more and more people who would tune in and watch the breaking coverage of fresh news alerts. Thus, setting off the news industry on the path of mass popularity.

CNN – Keeping You in Touch with the Latest around You

For the masses in America, who prefer staying in touch with the latest in current affairs, both international and local, CNN is definitely a frequent stop-over. From Live coverage of major global events especially the ones that the U.S. has had a key role to play in, to its 2016 initiative which revolved around drone-based news reporting via CNN AIR. From the introduction of HD broadcast in 2007 to a frequently redesigned on-air appearance and novelty in its news-based programming ideas. The persistently forward-looking approach of the Cable News Network (CNN), since it was founded 40 years ago, has definitely contributed massively to the popularity of the network in the U.S.

CNN’s broadcasting schedule makes it an early riser. The first news program broadcasts at 4am in the morning. Then, as a part of its regular programming, CNN broadcasts news and related programming during daytime hours, followed by primetime airing of detailed analyses from big names in journalism like Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. On weekends, CNN’s broadcast schedule gets anointed with documentaries, documentary-style reality shows and mini-series such as Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown and more – enabling the channel to draw in greater interest.

CNN has made itself available to all major TV service providers in the USA, cable and satellite, as well as several websites and close-circuit channels, thereby expanding its reach into the masses both in the U.S. and across the borders.
