What is CNN?

CNN (Cable News Network) is a leading American television news channel and one of the first 24-hour cable news networks. CNN was founded in 1980 by Ted Turner and is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

CNN is known for its breaking news coverage and ability to broadcast live events as they unfold across the world. Some of CNN's most well-known programming includes shows like Anderson Cooper 360, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, The Lead with Jake Tapper, State of the Union, and Reliable Sources.

The network pioneered the concept of 24-hour television news and has more reporters and bureaus across the globe than any other news channel. This allows CNN to deliver up-to-the-minute coverage on major stories and global events. The channel is often the first on the scene for natural disasters, political unrest, and other major happenings.

CNN is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and is available to over 100 million households in the U.S. It also has a large global presence, with multiple channels and websites aimed at international viewers across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
