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.

Their gaslighting job is done. They did what they wanted to do.
No one will notice.
Yea! Even though I stopped flying in 2006 and plan to never suffer the indignity again for the rest of my life. When I did fly I just couldn’t stand seeing that channel everywhere, like a science fiction movie.
Hallelujah!
Plus the CNN breakrooms.
"Also, because our product is garbage."
This is great, similar to a cure for cancer.
Jeez, that’s like half their screens...
CNN should stop being shown anywhere.
CNN should stop being shown anywhere.
THANK YOU, JESUS!
Yep. Maybe it's just the timing, but this announcement has a "mission accomplished" feel to it.
Surprising, but GOOD news! Would be great if CNN was stopped being shown *everywhere*.
Too many passengers yelling “CNN sucks!” in the waiting rooms?
