CNN is shuttering the CNN Airport Network effective March 31. That means an end to those televisions blaring news across approximately 50 U.S. airports. The cable network explains that this is because of a decline in air travel, and more people “consuming content on their personal devices” rather than watching their broadcasts.
Producing separate content isn’t the primary expense. It’s true that CNN Airport Network, which broadcasts 24 hours a day 7 days a week, is different than the primary channel. It doesn’t show sexually explicit or violent content or air disasters. However the main cost is payments to airports (at least $150,000 a year to a single large airport) in addition to the cost of the video screens and connectivity to show the broadcasts. They then sold advertising on the network to generate revenue.

Finally some good news!
A bright spot during dark times.
Probably get soccer, interspersed with N. Korean news about dear leader Xiden.
Depends on the alternative...
Just plug in Al Jazeera.
It’s about the same anti-American slant.
How about USA Today in Motels?
But I do like the crosswords, well so far. Maybe they will have clues like “Patriots” = “Traitors”, etc.
That is great! However, I am not flying anymore.
The only positive development in sight. I guess there are so few people flying, they could break their monopoly contract. I fear what’s coming will be straight from Chyna with translations.
CNN - Its work is done.
“It doesn’t show sexually explicit or violent content or air disasters. “
++++++
Maybe that’s its problem.
Woohoo 👍
What - are they afraid Trump is planning to buy CNN? :)
Make Airports Great Again
Haha.
This will drop CNN’s viewership to about 126 people... including the viewers in China and Russia.
Finally the tide has turned. America, without the being brainwashed at airport terminals, wakes up on April 1 to a new day when it suddenly clearly sees how wrong it has judged Trump and turns off the liberal news stations forever! The dominoes are falling now!
That ought to reduce the number of travel sickness bags the airlines are having to pass around.
I’d rather watch the cooking channel anyways.
More bogus charts.
Just like the number of times someone who listens to an album that they never bought counts as more sales than someone who actually bought the physical album and listened to it twice a day for 6 months.
Thank heaven
