About those airport fees ...
It seems CNN pays airports to use CNN.

Not only that, but ...
CNN Airport is not the exact same feed as the standard CNN, as additional sports and weather segments are added while some graphic video is removed. CNN Airport also goes out of its way to remove any coverage of plane crashes or air disasters that could spook passengers.

I just looked up various article and you are right. I didn't know that CNN is PAYING to be on those TVs.

I just spotted this while searching...

Growing questions about CNN's airport monopoly as network veers left

March 23, 2018, Fox News.

San Francisco International Airport told Fox News it has informed CNN that the relationship will be terminated next month when the existing contract expires, pointing to improved mobile devices and free airport Wi-Fi that allow travelers to curate their own content as the primary reason.

I was wondering when personal devices would make airport TVs obsolete. For forty years, I've diligently tried to get as far away from those infernal idiot boxes in airports as I possibly can.

Wonder if CNN gets the money to pay the airport bribes from cable carriage fees...?
