if you're an american who goes on planes chances are you've sat at an airport gate and been forced to watch c.n.n. not fox not a sports channel not a game show c.n.n. there's a reason for that and it's called c.n.n. airport network it launched back in one thousand nine hundred one when the gulf war was going on c.n.n. covered that war relentlessly televising a brand new level of fear and violence but apparently just being in everyone's homes twenty four seven wasn't enough for cnn's gulf war storytelling so they launched c.n.n. airport network which actually pays airports to play c.n.n. in their terminals through this program c.n.n. actually started paying airports so that they could present their version of what was going on in the middle east to people waiting for planes and that's because c.n.n. things you an american waiting for
4:26 pm
a plane is exactly whom they want to reach according to c.n.n. airport network's sales brochure which anyone can download from the internet you are a quote valued demographic they think you're upscale and influential with a median age of forty five they think you make lots of money and do lots of business which makes you valuable but the best part about you maybe to c.n.n. is that you are captive and then you're stuck at the gate and can't go anywhere so you have to watch their stuff this is all in their brochure so it pays for them to pay the airports because then they can throw all their messages that you their captive target demographic and then you can help them spread their message to and apparently c.n.n. things that pays off because they're now paying lots and lots of airports c.n.n. airport network now airs in forty five airports across the country in over two thousand gates it also as a baggage claim areas ticket counters and business centers and. brooms food courts and customs everywhere they can mail a flat screen they do and then they air c.n.n.
4:27 pm
airport network and if you're in the airport c.n.n. will actually help you install more flat screens just so you can air their messages and more place with the airport network program is so big that now eighty three percent of air travelers are exposed to c.n.n. and according to the brochure eighty eight percent of them agree that c.n.n. airport network helps them stay in touch with the world which means c.n.n. is planned to show their perspective down your throat you captive american going on planes is working. so the next time you're stuck at a gate and c.n.n. is airing just remember c.n.n. paid that airport just to show you the messages they're showing which makes it sound a lot less like news and more like straight up advertising and the product they're advertising is pretty scary.
