Who else has had CNN International News (cable tv) shut down?
My cable tv provider told me that CNNFN and CNNIN are being rolled off cable across the country. I guess I'll have to stick with BBC news on tv and NPR (dubious at times) and the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
They said they started shutting them down a few at a time starting 12/15.
I didn't know about it until Saturday, when I was about to settle in for a weekend of real news and it was gone. I thought it was because Rupert Murdoch recently acquired my satellite provider and I was going to switch to DISH, but I guess they are dropping it on DISH too.
CNN International is nothing like our CNN. It's much more like the BBC. I'm happy to see it coming. But then, I can't get BBC either. CNN Int'l is much more the real thing. In a perfect world, we'd have access to both.
