History

CNN Headline News began broadcasting on January 1, 1982, as "CNN2," but the name was changed to CNN Headline News in 1983. The CNN part has been used intermittently throughout the years, but became an official part of the station's name by the late 1990s. The network's first broadcast aired at Midnight Eastern Standard Time on January 1, 1982. The co-anchors were Chuck Roberts and Denise LeClair and the broadcast was simultaneously broadast on Superstation WTBS. January 1 is the first day of the calendar year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. ... 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

"Headlines", as it is known to employees, has always been somewhat of a stepchild at CNN: the unvarying rigidity of the news cycle was contrasted with the unpredictable, live nature of the parent network. It has been remarkably stable, too: Chuck Roberts, who anchored the first newscast in 1982, is still anchoring. Chuck Roberts is weekday news anchor on CNN Headline News. ... 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...


The original Headline News format, which lasted until 2001, allowed the viewer to tune in at any time of the day and, in just 30 minutes, receive the top national and international stories and informative feature reports. The format was created by original Executive Producers Ted Kavanau and Paul Amos, who later became a Senior Exective V.P. for CNN. Among the features that were specific to Headlines News were "Dollars and Sense" personal finance reports at 15 and 45 minutes past each hour, Headline Sports at 21 and 51 minutes and lifestyle reports at 24 and 54 minutes past each hour. Another regular feature was the "Hollywood Minute" which was often fitted in after the Headline Sports segment. In addition, later in the 1990s, a stock-price crawler weekdays between 9:30am and 5:30pm (ET), listing the latest stock market quotes and a sport score ticker during weekend and evening hours. Headline News Local Edition afforded cable operators with slots throughout the day to insert five minutes of local news into the Headline News format. This usually replaced the lifestyle segment at 24 and 54 minutes past the hour. A News Ticker is a small screen space on News television networks dedicated to headlines or minor pieces of news. ...


In the late 1990s, Headline News pioneered using a digital video jukebox to recycle segments of one newscast seamlessly into another newscast. During that period, Headline News laid off part of its staff, including such stalwart anchors as Lyn Vaughn, David Goodnow and Bob Losure, all of whom had been with Headline News for over 10 years. David Goodnow's tenure went back to the days of CNN2. Bob Losure quit before he was pushed.


In the early 2000s, CNN Headline News became famous for its distinct "screen," in which the news anchor (or news footage) appears in a sort of visual "window" surrounded by constantly changing text, such as breaking news, sports scores, stock market reports, and weather updates. This new screen layout premiered on Headline News on August 6, 2001.


On September 11th 2001 during the attacks in New York City and Washington D.C., Headline News began to air older sister channel CNN for the days during and after the attack.

On February 21, 2005, the network departed from its roots in a rigid schedule of news updates every half-hour by offering "Headline Prime": longer, personality-based shows in the evening. Initial shows were an hour of entertainment news, Showbiz Tonight with A. J. Hammer (and originally Karyn Bryant) at 7 ET, an hour of legal news and discussion, named after host Nancy Grace at 8 ET, and Prime News with Erica Hill, a program covering national news hosted by Erica Hill (and originally Mike Galanos). This eliminated the main difference between CNN Headline News and CNN during primetime, which had always broadcast a variety of news-related programs, such as documentaries and personality-based shows like Larry King Live. In May 2006, Headline News launched a new prime time show hosted by radio talk show host Glenn Beck (weekly featuring Brian Sack, the public viewer.) Image File history File links Headlineprime. ...

As of 2006, Headline News no longer airs its programming entirely live, and therefore uses its digital video jukebox system to shuffle certain segments of the newscast, unless, of course, important news breaks. This system is especially true on the weekends. In fact, if one watches Headline News closely in a given weekend, one may find the same newscast that originally aired in the morning repeated long into the night (this is one reason why other networks as MSNBC and Fox News Channel have aired ads attacking Headline News for its repetition). In addition, Headline Prime has also been expanded to the weekends with the same programmes occupying the same timeslots as in the weekdays where content was recorded from the most recent weekday broadcasts.
