During its early years it struggled to achieve the success and credibility of older news agencies, such as the [[BBC]]. However it achieved a great deal of recognition during its coverage of the first Gulf War during which it was the only news agency reporting during the initial night of the war. These events led to a movie, ''Live from Baghdad'', which portrays the events.  In September 2010, head of its U.S. network Jon Klein was fired. <ref>http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/Coursetexts/gulf-war-arnett.html</ref> Ted Turner has sold CNN to Time Warner.
