What a great thing to find!
This is one of the most informative posts I’ve ever seen on FR.
Thank you.
LOL! Didn’t we discuss this yesterday? ;-)
FOX or OAN should offer it for free.
Not only that, but CNN is the only news outlet in many hotel rooms in foreign countries. I was in China recently, just before the big CNN blow-up, and their biased coverage of Trump’s “Russian” conspiracy was reprehensible. I finally found the national Chinese channel in English was much more balanced and interesting in terms of the range of stories.
Why not FOX or other conservative news networks on those hotel networks?
My bank has a TV behind the tellers - when waiting in line
or doing have to watch these clowns spewing out their
propaganda.....
I see Knoxville (TYS) is on the list. The times I’ve flown in and out of there, Fox has been on the TVs. That may have changed since I last flew, though.
And it’s the only news network in China’s airports!
At work the channel in the break areas alternates between FOX, CNN, HGTV and ESPN. It also varies by floor.
What’s neat is that many places are tuned to the home improvement channel, house flippers and so forth.
Even at airports, I’ve noticed this. Apparently some do change the channel is you request it.
I agree it needs to go, but I fly a lot and wonder who watches television at an airport? These days most people I see are glued to their phone or tablet, many with earbuds in their ears.
I receive questionnaires from after my flights are completed. Next time I fly, later this summer, I will mention this issue in an attempt to improve the flying experience.
They purport to ask viewers, not travelers, so the polled population is probably those who can stand to watch CNN.
I was in a couple airports yesterday and noticed CNN was on everywhere, like fingernails on a chalkboard. As someone stated above, most everyone was on their phone or computer.
The VA hospital I use normally has CNN running on all of its waiting room televisions. Fortunately, its just part of their cable package and the televisions controls are all accessible by the waiting patients.
After asking my fellow patients, I always change the channel to either Turner Classic Movies or something like Me TV.
No one has ever wanted to continue watching CNN or return to it. Plus they all seem to enjoy the channel shifted to.
It’s always made me uneasy that those TVs are initially set to CNN, and that none take the initiative to switch to something they enjoy.
Nada: [seeing politician on TV for the first time] Ha, figures it’d be something like this.
`They Live!’
Amazon sells a device called tv b gone. It is a universal remote made to turn off tv’s in public places.
“”People have the right—liberal or conservative—to have their personal views honored in the public arena. They came to catch a flight, not to hear partisan politics””
HUH?
You can buy large stickers, like “CNN FakeNews Network” and “CNN Very Fake News,” online to put near the CNN propaganda spewer at airports.
So when CNN reports the number of viewers, do the people in the airport count as part of the audience? Seems like less than quality viewership in that event.
My last office building had a feed in the elevator for something called Captivate. If Obama tied his shoelaces in the morning, they were there to cheer.
So would reruns of "Barney". Simple fix, simply rotate among the "all-news" cable channels, switching every half hour.
