Is there a Vegas bet when the last one will be?

When CNN launched, Ted Turner proclaimed that it would be on until the end of the world.

He wasn't joking.

In the CNN video archives is a clip of a military band playing "Nearer My God, To Thee" outside of Turner's home. It's currently set to "hold until the end of the world is confirmed". That's really the status it has.

When Armageddon comes, this video of a band playing is supposed to be the very last thing that CNN broadcasts.

It would be funny as all get out if CNN didn't make it that far :-P

Lynn Russell was one of their main on-air people back when they were still somewhat worthwhile in the 1990s. I spoke with her a few years ago at a Veterans Day event, and I think it fair to summarize the conversation by saying she is horrified at what CNN has become.
