Revision as of 01:27, 29 August 2004 by Neutrality (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)CNN Headline News is a spin-off network from the original Cable News Network (CNN) television news network in the United States. It began broadcasting on January 1, 1982 as "CNN2" but this was changed to its current name in 1983.
Unlike CNN, which broadcasts a variety of news related programs, such as documentaries and personality-based shows like Larry King Live and Crossfire, CNN Headline News focuses only on news updates.
The channel features 30-minute news programs 24 hours a day. Every hald hour vievers get the latest updates on top stories (headlines), financial news, national weather reports, sports, and entertainment news. CNN Headline News is famous for its distinct "screen," in which the news anchor (or news footage) appears in a sort of visual "window" surrounded by constantly-changing text, such as breaking news, sports scores, stock market reports, and weather updates.
The network is quite popular with people who may not have time for lengthy news reports. TVs playing CNN Headline News can often be found in airports, bars, and other places where there is a high demand for "get to the point" news.
