CNN channels go dark on Monday for viewers across multiple distribution points, and the network attributes the outage to a “technical issue” at its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. CNN’s PR team says it is aware of the problem and that it results in CNN channels being unavailable for a period.
Deadline and Variety both report that CNN later returns to its programming schedule. Deadline notes that host Dana Bash resumes broadcasting at about 12:51 p.m. ET and tells viewers that CNN is back after the technical issue affecting Warner Bros. Discovery. While the reports agree on the cause and the general timeline, they do not provide detailed information about which specific systems failed, which platforms were affected, or how widely the disruption extended beyond the points where the channels went dark.
