Some regions receive locally produced opt-outs (under the name "CNN International"), and there are also broadcasts in [[Spanish]], [[German]], [[Italian]], [[Croatian]], [[Japanese]], and [[Turkish]].

CNN was successful until around 2001, when [[Fox News]] began beating it in the ratings. Since then it has been failing, with June 2019 ratings not even making the top 10 in primetime (the most watched period for television when stations can command premium prices for advertising), falling below not only the conservative-oriented Fox News, but ultra-left-wing [[MSNBC]], HGTV (which broadcasts reality shows pertaining to home improvement and real estate), and even [[Hallmark Channel]] which was running endless reruns of "chick flick" romance films.<ref>https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/basic-cable-ranker-week-of-june-3/405417/</ref>
