How many TVs are there that actually tune into CNN by choice

Edit: Darcy has one of them punchable faces doesn't he. The smarm just comes wafting off the screen.

I had to Google this to find out what exactly they're talking about here:

CNN Airport - Wikipedia

Why not just show CNN instead, or maybe, pare down operations a bit and wait for the inevitable turnaround....likely the fucking explosive growth in air travel...once this COVID thing is wrapped.

Had no idea CNN Airport Network was even a thing. Is it just like ... 3 accountants in an office that process the payments to airports to have them show the regular CNN broadcasts lol? Do they try to combine news from different travel destinations for both sets of citizens?

Seems like a huge waste of money.

Now what will I watch when every flight from O'Hare gets delayed?

Hopefully someone reporting news instead of telling you how to think if you want to be on the right side of history.

Only CNN has hard hitting journalism like this segment last night

CNN can probably pare way down, the Dems won't have much work for them until the midterms.

Wasn't CNN already losing money badly? Without Trump how are they going to make money?

Warner Media wants to sell it badly. Its a drag on their books.

But its a toxic network.

I'll drink to that

The answer is in the wikipedia you linked to:

Due to the network's prominence in public waiting areas, the network has stricter content standards than the regular CNN; for instance, stories involving commercial aviation incidents and crashes do not appear on the network, and are overlaid with automated weather conditions. Stories involving sexual content and graphic violence are similarly overlaid. The network's digital on-screen graphics are designed larger than industry standards, to allow readability of fonts at a distance.[7]

Imagine getting corrected by Don Lemon.

Yikes.

But wait. Who is going to watch CNN now? What will they do without a captive audience?

Sucking Democrat ding dongs but not metaphorically anymore.

Sounds like something that could be handled by a skeleton crew, but hey, it's not my business.

I hope the golden goose at least tastes good right now.

Sounds to me like Fredo is whitesplaining to Lemon; he needs to check his privilege.

I legitimately thought the thread title was a clever burn, calling CNN the "airport network" since that's the only place most of us are forced to watch it. Who knew they had a separate division or channel for this purpose?

This might be the first positive change to air travel since 9/11 pretty much ruined it. So what is going to replace it? My guess, HGTV!

Both would be a vast improvement.

Chilling in O’Hare, watching CNN, enjoying one of these last moments together.

They switched over to HBO Max.
