  • History Early History
    Cable News Network, almost always referred to by its initialism CNN, is a U.S. cable newsnetwork founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.[1][2] Upon its launch, CNN was the first network to provide 24-hour television news coverage,[3] and the first all-news television network in the United States.[4]While the news network has numerous affiliates, CNN primarily broadcasts from its headquarters at the CNN Center in Atlanta, the Time Warner Center in New York City, and studios in Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles. CNN is owned by parent company Time Warner, and the U.S. news network is a division of the Turner Broadcasting System.[5] CNN is sometimes referred to as CNN/U.S. to distinguish the North American channel from its international counterpart, CNN International. As of June 2008, CNN is available in over 93 million U.S. households.[6] Broadcast coverage extends to over 890,000 American hotel rooms,[6] and the U.S broadcast is also shown in Canada. Globally, CNN programming airs through CNN International, which can be seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories.[7] In terms of regular viewers (Nielsen ratings), CNN rates as the United States' number two cable news network and has the most unique viewers (Nielsen Cume Ratings).[8] History Early history CNN's first broadcast with David Walkerand Lois Hart on June 1, 1980. Main article: History of CNN: 1980-2003 The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980. After an introduction by Ted Turner, the husband and wife team of David Walker and Lois Hart anchored the first newscast.[9] Since its debut, CNN has expanded its reach to a number of cable and satellite television networks, several web sites, specialized closed-circuit networks (such as CNN Airport Network), and a radio network.

They get to and from work safely every day. Now the Army knows. It recog- nized the department with a 10-year Award of Excellence for safety, pre- sented Thursday by visiting SMDC Commander Lt. Gen. John Costello. When I was in the airborne, pilots always asked us why we would jump out of perfectly good aircraft and we always said, Ive never seen a per- fectly good aircraft. But if I have, it would probably be here at Kwajalein, Costello said. The award recognizes more than 10 years of safe operations by the department. According to Steele Clayton, Avia- tion safety manager, safe operations are achieved when a units aircraft have no serious incidents over a given period of time. Incidents include any aircraft damage that the department could have directly prevented through, for example, maintenance inspections Lt. Gen.

  • TAX PLAN KEY to MALL $70-Million Project Could Open in Late 1989
    mxdmtn HfralJi Manchester — A City of Village Charm Saturday, Jan. 23, 1988 30 Cents TAX PLAN KEY TO MALL $70-million project could open in late 1989 By Nancy Concelman Manchester Herald The >70 million Mall at Buckland Hills — possibly larger than one originally proposed — could be completed by the fall of 1M9 if directors agree to a seven-year tax freese worth >9.5 million, the developer says. Joseph LeDuc, senior development director for the Homart Development Co. of Chicago, said during a news conference Friday that Homart will present a proposal next week to the Manchester Board of Directors to finance the road and utility improvements related to the mall, estimated now at $15 million, through a 7-year tax freeze on 100 acres of the 115-acre mall site. The tax freeze would allow Homart to recapture $9.5 million by freezing the real estate tax assessment at a lower percentage rate. Most directors interviewed Friday night were non-committal on the proposal. The mall is expected to employ between 1,500 and 2,000 full- and part-time employees, LeDuc said. Physical plans lor thA^mall will remain the same, but the size may increase, LeDuc said. The details of Homart’s ^ n s were disclosed just months after a slim^nnargin of voters defeated a Nov. 3 referendum^alling for $13 million in tax-increment bonds to p^t^rj^rroad and utility improvements. After that defeat. LeDuc had said Homart was considering scaling the project down or moving it to South Windsor. But he said Friday the mall would rennain at the proposed 785,000 squ are-f^ and may even get larger.
