CNN is/was a turner network that was bought by warner which is now owned bt ATT...how/why would they sell this one property? I'd assume CNN is probably a money maker for ATT given our country's reliance on cable news

Despite their influence not a lot of people are watching cable news. Their highest rated programs are like 2 million people. Compare that to the national population.

i mean, what's the average viewership of cable channels point blank not named ESPN...i could be wrong, but i always assumed cable news channels were some of the most watched cable channels (outside of espn and premium channels like HBO). just seems like a weird property to sell, if there's any legs to this, but everything has a prices so...

CNN is America's Wallpaper, shyt is on in every doctor's waiting room and public space where a TV is on.

But I guess Fox News has better ratings, so maybe Fox is America's Wallpaper :merchant:

They have a website too that I see people share pages from all the time. And Nielsen only accounts for people's houses, not public spaces.
