On Monday, CNN experienced a widespread outage that briefly impacted its ability to broadcast programming across the United States. Shortly after noon Eastern time, signals for many viewers became scrambled. CNN acknowledged the technical issue in a social media post on multiple platforms, stating that it was aware of a problem affecting Warner Bros Discovery and that channels were lost for a period of time.
On air, CNN echoed the message, apologizing for the interruption and assuring viewers that they were back. Anchor Dana Bash expressed regret for the inconvenience, saying, "Welcome back and we ARE back. There was a technical issue across Warner Bros. Discovery's channels that resulted in losing our signal. We're very sorry for the interruption."
The network, established by Ted Turner in Atlanta in 1980, is known for being among the pioneers of 24-hour news content. Outages affecting CNN, owned by Warner Bros/Discovery, are exceedingly rare. At one point during the incident, CNN began airing a pre-recorded program before resuming live broadcasting. CNN's chief media analyst, Brian Stelter, indicated that there would be further updates following the company's public relations account's social media post.
