Watch CNN's very first day on air in 1980
The world's first 24-hour news network came to life on June 1, 1980. Watch a behind the scenes look at what CNN looked like on its first day.
"The broadcast obviously looks a bit dated compared with what CNN looks like now. There wasn't a ticker or chyron; the stories had hardly any graphics; and there were some glitches. And of course, 1980s hair and fashion. Yet, even from its start, CNN felt like CNN," writes CNN's Frank Pallotta.
Vault by CNN is a series that unearths old videos and interviews from CNN at critical moments in tech, media and business. Read more about CNN's first day on air at CNN.com: cnn.it/3gHhZaW

I really miss the old CNN and CNN Headline News of the 80s. During CNN's first decade it was the best source of news. In the 90s it began to be a little more about the anchors. Now a CNN news piece often matches the pattern, "see anchor X react to situation Y". Other times it seems to be designed to introduce as much drama as possible. The old CNN provided clear news and respected that its viewers could form their own opinion. CNN has a lot of very talented people. They are probably just caught up in a culture that has made them this way, just like all other cable news. Maybe this is what people want, just not me. I really miss the old CNN and CNN Headline News!!!

We were much better informed about news happening around the world in the 1980s and early 1990s thanks to CNN. There's been no cable news channel (notice the word "news") for decades now. This absence has been particularly felt as social media filter bubbles creates echo chambers for biased and outright fabricated news to flourish. America has become dumb. Political commentary on CNN used to be essentially limited to Crossfire. Then they decided to make Crossfire the format all day, every day. It's boring, useless, and makes us dumb.

CNN is just Democrat and Deep State propaganda now.

It has become very far left, in the earlier days they were more neutral and just covered the news.

at the beginning was Don Miller.. I'd recognize that voice anywhere.. I really liked watching him with Bella Shaw and Cheryl Jones
Wow...dude...it's like going back in time during the 1980s!

Chris Curle and Don Farmer, Atlanta legends!

‘Flip Spiceland’……… oh c’mon, are you serious?
"programing" ... "producers" .... "writers" .... Sounds like "NEWS" to me. lol
When CNN had integrity...the good old days.
Picture Motion is better than these days digital cameras

Happy Birthday, CNN!
I always said CNN would never last. Was I right?
Happy Birthday CNN!!!
You guys should have a documentary on your first fake news report. *just joking lol*
In wasnt even born until June 14 1982. CNN was created at the right time because the entire Globe is wired to CNN for a particular reason.
Back when CNN wasn’t called fake news
The debut of CNN!
So this is CNN back then
Awww happy birthday CNN
First CNN student news please!
In 1990 I thought CNN was in effect a broadcast network for the US Government. In 2023, it is terrible and I hope it goes off the air.
Lmao, everyone’s acting
Billion dollar empire...classic!
Super Ted 💪
Bet Y'all lied like hell back then too
And the fake news was born :D
Happy Birthday CNN 💐💐💐
Damn how much was that back then cable 😂

Fake news has existed since before the Roman Empire
None of this is real-nothing is real
The day the world got fucked….
CNN went from being one of the best of the best, and now it's one of the worst of the worst. Pity. Low ratings and the powers-that-be just continue to tank it.

Happy birthday CNN.. I liked it when your weather guy said you got all the latest electronic gizmos. So do we. This year is our 10th year Birthday. 🇺🇸 US 10th Fleet CYBER Command Got your back We too also have latest electronic gizmos Fact check me.. Just kidding But is also our birthday. Ted Turner is watching you now. More than all with the U.S. as it is. Don't forget your primary mission. Bring the people Factual Truthfulness in news like you have been doing. In spite of all the bs fake news claims. I guess hiding out in a bunker like Hitler is also fake new. While Rome burns. Somebody plays golf Nero fiddled and laughed.
