On Monday night, CNN will launch “Parker Spitzer,” the network’s latest 8 p.m. challenge to the higher-rated Keith Olbermann on MSNBC (and the even-higher-rated Bill O’Reilly on Fox News). But CNN wouldn’t be going after Olbermann if recently-ousted network president Jon Klein had his way in poaching Olbermann a few years back. According to Gabriel [... ]
CNN anchor Rick Sanchez abruptly left the network Friday afternoon, just one day after making controversial comments on a satellite radio program.

January 28th, 1986 at 11:39am EDT – The Space Shuttle Challenger Explodes on its 10th flight during mission STS-51-L. The explosion occurred 73 seconds after liftoff and was actually the result of rapid deceleration and not combustion of fuel. CNN was the only national news station to broadcast the mission live, so thus what you are witnessing on this video is the only coverage of the disaster as it happened when it did. Approximately 17% of Americans witnessed the launch live, while 85% of Americans heard of the news within 1 hour of the event. According to a study, only 2 other times in history up to that point had news of an event disseminated so fast – the first being the announcement of JFK's assassination in 1963, the second being news spread among students at Kent State regarding the news of FDR's death in 1945. It has been estimated at the time that nearly 48% of 9-13 year olds witnessed the event in their classrooms, as McAuliffe was in the spotlight. The 25th Space Shuttle mission altered the history of manned space exploration and represented the first loss of an American crew during a space mission (Apollo 1 was during a training exercise). Christa McAuliffe was slated to be the first teacher in space for the Teacher in Space Program. As her maximum altitude was ~65000ft (12.31 miles), she never made it to space. That title was given to Barbara Morgan of STS-118 aboard the shuttle Endeavour in August 2007, 22 and a half years after the Challenger Disaster <b>…</b>

37 Bureaus
This is why you want to have your camera at hand no matter what you’re doing — even if you’re relaxing in front of the boob tube watching Jeopardy!.

Btw, Wikipedia lists 51 bureaus for CNN, but also says "many of the following bureaus have been closed".

CNN’s Facebook page currently (4 Oct 2010) says there are 41 bureaus in addition to the global headquarters in Atlanta. (Oops, I gave away the Jeopardy! question.)

But www.cnn.com/tour/atlanta/scavenger.hunt.key.html does say that there are 37 bureaus.
