Good News from CNN for a change.
CNN is pulling their network from airports!

Bye Bye CNN

Yet another reason to look forward to resuming travel. That 30-minute loop was cruel and unusual punishment on long layovers and delays.

I was hoping they were going out of business and their buildings were going to be burned down.

Thank God. Best news I've heard in a year. I hope airports replace it with nothing. Take the boob tubes down.

Just speculating, those airport franchises have to cost several bucks, revenue stream down with daily target Trump perhaps off the table, CNN can't spend like drunken sailors.

The only good thing about CNN at the airport was when Robin Meade was on.

This move just confirms how bad their financial situation really is. They have got to be circling the bowl. And without Trump to use as a punching bag daily, their future is bleak.

When things finally get back to normal I’m going to look forward to their absence at the airport. I’ve wanted this to happen for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Smile

I imagine there was some financial arrangement between the airports and CNN. May be that one or both realized almost all travelers have their I-thingeys or equiv, that keep them occupied while sitting in the airport, CNN was effectively invisible.

Can’t imagine how much THEY HAD to pay to have the “privilege” to be on every TV. I’d imagine by the square inch since all the other business pay by the foot and % of sales

CNN used to be in Doctors and Hospital waiting rooms but are gone in our area for several years now, which probably helps with patients healing faster.
