CNN (officially the Cable News Network) is the oldest 24 hour cable news channel in the United States. First started in 1980 by Ted Turner it is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System, which is owned by Time Warner.

From its origin as a cable-only service, CNN now broadcasts worldwide by satellite, with programs presented from studios in several countries in addition to their headquarters in Atlanta. Some regions receive locally produced opt-outs (under the name "CNN International"), and there are also broadcasts in Spanish and Turkish.
