==History==
CNN is owned by media mogul Ted Turner and made its debut in 1980 as the first US 24-hour news network. <ref><References/>http://www.turner.com/about/corporate_history.html</ref>
During its early years it struggled to achieve the success and credibility of older news agencies, such as the [[BBC]]. However it achieved large notoriety 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. <ref>http://writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/Coursetexts/gulf-war-arnett.html</ref>
