TV Channel Overview
CNN is a U.S. television news network headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Its news operation reports on events across the United States and internationally,
with journalists and bureaus working from cities including New York, Washington,
D.C., Los Angeles, and locations on other continents.
The network covers U.S. politics and government, international affairs, business and the economy, investigations, health, science, weather, and breaking events. National and international assignment desks coordinate reporting across CNN’s bureau network, allowing stories to be developed through correspondents and editorial teams based in different regions.
CNN began broadcasting in 1980 from Atlanta with a 24-hour television news
format. As its news operation expanded, the organization established additional
domestic and international bureaus and developed related services for audiences
outside the United States. CNN’s television services include CNN/U.S.,
CNN International, and the Spanish-language CNN en Español. Within the
American television news environment, CNN functions as a national news
network, with its U.S. service centered on continuous coverage of domestic
and international events.
