Most Reliable Cable News Source?
Which is you first choice for national and international news based on reliability and value of content?
CNN: The Cable News Network, usually referred to as CNN, is a cable television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. It is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System, owned by Time Warner. CNN introduced the concept of 24-hour television news coverage, and celebrated its 25th anniversary on June 1, 2005. In terms of cumulative (Cume) Nielsen ratings, CNN rates as America's #1 cable news network, however, it is superseded by Fox News in long-term viewers (Nielsen's Points ratings). CNN broadcasts primarily from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, and from studios in New York City and Washington, DC. As of December 2004, it is available in 88.2 million U.S. households and more than 890,000 U.S. hotel rooms. Globally, the network has combined branded networks and services that are available to more than 1.5 billion people in over 212 countries and territories.
Fox News: The Fox News Channel is a leading American cable and satellite news channel. It is owned by the Fox Entertainment Group, and is a subsidiary of News Corporation, under major shareholder and chief executive officer Rupert Murdoch. As of January 2005, it is available to 85 million households in the U.S. and to further viewers internationally, broadcasting primarily out of its New York City studios.
MSNBC: MSNBC (a portmanteau of Microsoft and NBC) is a 24-hour cable news channel in the United States. MSNBC is currently America's third most-watched cable news channel [1], after Fox News, and CNN, but ahead of CNBC and CNN Headline News. It is available in 86.2 million households in the U.S. and broadcasts primarily out of its studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.
BBC: BBC News and Current Affairs (commonly referred to as BBC News, sometimes abbreviated BBC NCA) is a major arm of the BBC responsible for the corporation's newsgathering and production of news programmes on BBC television, radio and online. It claims to be the largest broadcast news gathering operation in the world and produces almost 100 hours of output daily
Al Jazeera: Al Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة al-Ǧazīrä), meaning "The Island" and/or "The Peninsula" is an Arabic-language television channel based in Doha, Qatar. Its willingness to broadcast dissenting views, including on call-in shows, created controversies in the autocratic Persian Gulf Arab States. The station gained worldwide attention following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when it broadcast video statements by Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders.
Sky News: Sky News is Europe's first 24-hour television news channel, originally launched as part of the 4-channel Sky Television network in February 1989. Its main competitor in the UK is BBC News 24 since the ITV News Channel has ceased broadcasting. It also broadcasts an Irish version, Sky News Ireland, with tailor-made programming for that country. Elsewhere in Europe, it competes mainly with BBC World, Euronews and CNN International.
EuroNews: EuroNews is a pan-European television news channel broadcasting to most of Europe, as well as further afield, via satellite and cable, and terrestrially by time-sharing on state television networks. The channel is praised for what many consider to be its unbiased approach. Part of this strategy is its simplistic logo, the lack of on-screen anchors, and a "No Comment" segment. Many consider this a response to US news companies such as Fox News, which use flashy graphics, rely on presenter personalities and comment on news stories; although EuroNews is only pre-dated by BBC World, Sky News and CNN in its class.
