Seriously? FNC sounds too “American” for travelers’ tastes, based on what was told to me by a colleague of mine. Go figger’...

Because CNN has bought the airport TV news franchise and installed the TV’s in the terminal buildings . . . they own it, basically. Airports sold it to them, believing that they were getting a real news channel, not a propaganda outlet.

Of course, remember too that most U.S. airports are government agencies, too, so there’s some affinity there.
