Is this new drama based on CNN?

This article in the Seattle P-I (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/tv/68715_tv02.shtml) says that TNT spent millions on this new series about a 24-hour news network and then decided to shelve it before any episodes ever aired.

I wonder if it hit a little too close to home for the folks at AOL Time Warner who don’t want everyone to know what really goes on behind-the-scenes at CNN. There must be some totally embarrassing moments or maybe it exposes just how liberal CNN’s newsrooms are. I can’t wait to see.

Has anyone heard why AOL Time Warner was afraid to air it?

Thanks, Stanley

I'd guess that AOL/Time Warner decided it wouldn't be prudent to air a series on one of its cable networks that might be deemed critical of one of its sister cable networks.

The series will now finally be aired by Bravo - which isn't much better for the producers than going door to door with VHS copies of the show.
