CNN Brand News and Media

CNN, known formally as Cable News Network, was established in 1980 as the first 24-hour cable news channel in the United States. Founded by Ted Turner under the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS), it revolutionized the media landscape by providing continuous news coverage globally. While its primary broadcasting and production 'manufacturing' hubs are located in Atlanta, New York City, and Washington D.C., it maintains bureaus across the world to facilitate its international reporting.

Today, CNN is a premier media asset under a complex corporate lineage. Following a series of high-profile mergers involving Time Warner and AT&T, the brand is now part of Warner Bros. Discovery. This conglomerate was formed through the merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., creating one of the largest media and entertainment companies in the world. CNN continues to operate as a central pillar of American media, exported globally as a leading source of news and analysis.
