From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CNN Airport Network is a satellite television network broadcasting general news, weather, stock market updates and features to airports across North America. The network debuted on January 20, 1992[1], and is currently shown in 42 airports around the world, on televisions located in gate and boarding areas.

It uses footage from the main CNN network and Headline News as programming. However, it inserts more weather and travel segments, such as airport delays, into its programming than the other CNN networks.

Due to an agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration, it is the only 24-hour news channel that does not broadcast stories relating to airplane crashes and other aviation accidents. During the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the network essentially went off the air, only showing text directing viewers to other news sources. According to its 2007 media guide, "CNN Airport Network broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with round-the-clock technical and editorial staffing. Because we broadcast in public waiting areas CNN Airport Network will not air graphic video coverage of commercial air accidents or incidents, unlessthe incident involves a national emergency or threat to security. CNN Airport Network also screens out material that is either sexually explicit or portrays graphic violence." [2]

The CNN Airport Network does have advertisements, but does not accept advertisements from any airline, to ensure that ads for one airline are not shown in another's gate area.

CNN Airport Network is run by Turner Private Networks, Inc., a division of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., a Time Warner company.
