Time Warner's cable news operations took a new hit Wednesday as CNN President Jim Walton announced that CNNfn, the company's financial-news network, will shut down in mid-December after more than nine years on the air. Walton said that he was pulling the plug on the outlet in order to help shore up CNN and CNN Headline News. He also indicated that a continuing problem had been finding outlets for the network which is only available in some 30 million homes, half of which nearly half are served by DirecTV. Walton indicated that CNN International may take the place of CNNfn on the cable dial. Although about 100 employees of CNNfn are affected by the decision, Walton said in a staff memo that many of them "will assume other roles within CNN" and that the company will relocate others with the financial news website that it produces with Time Inc.'s Money magazine.
Headline news is next!!!
Then CNN itself.
Rush is right, the revolution has begun!
Bye Bye MSM!!!
Good!
Already posted yesterday, but some people probably didn't see it. So thanks for reposting.
Rot you left-slanted losers!! People obviously don't go to communists for economic/financial advice.
Wonderful news. Before long, the only place Christiane Amanpour will be able to get a job will be on the Home Shopping Network.
mind you, "severe" takes the bar pretty far up there.
I have DirecTV. CNNfn and CNN International are already the same station on my dial. I get both logo's when I turn to it. Hm.
