CNN announced Tuesday that it would pull the plug on its long-running Airport Network, causing jubilation among many of the network's critics on social media.

Network President Jeff Zucker announced the CNN Airport Network will officially end on March 31, citing a "deep decline in airport traffic because of COVID-19, coupled with all the new ways that people are consuming content on their personal devices."

"Having to say goodbye to such a beloved brand is not easy," Zucker wrote. "I want to thank our friends and colleagues who have contributed to its success and to celebrate the fact that for 30 years, the CNN Airport Network has kept millions of domestic travelers informed. It has also become an iconic part of the traveling experience in this country."

People will be flying again but almost everyone including myself can stream CNN on their phone if they have a cable subscription.

Also, this thread title is misleading. CNN will probably still be on TVs in airports they are just getting rid of the Channel that was customized for airport viewing.

Guess it depends if some other company wants to bother paying to get themselves in airports. Doubt it.

Ducks is just upset that CNN is in English and not in his native Armenian.

Plus he had to carry his high chair for the flight and could not carry his phone too.

Haters gonna hate.

Fine with me. I don't understand why airports insist on having cable news on anyway, all it does is stress people out right before they all have to get into a small space together.

Play early 80's MTV or something.
