Cable News Network ( CNN) was established in1980 by the billionaire and media magnate Ted Turner and he was the first one to start a 24-hour news program. Until then, in the U.S. there was no TV stations that broadcasted only news.
While the competition was initially ironic at the Turner’s project, believing that a program consisting only of news will fail, especially considering the fact that the Turner was refused by some region’s TV star of that time, he was not put off. He started across the America gathering collaborators, mostly students of journalism, because he wanted his people to always be “on the scene”.
Soon after CNN became leading TV network, a model after which started working many media channels. According to data from Time Warner, CNN International in English can be watched in 212 countries and territories and there are established even informative TV stations in other languages - Spanish, Turkish and Japanese. CNN is the only channel that broadcasted live the launch of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 and a number of other extraordinary events.
