CNN pays the airports to broadcast and CNN owns the TV’s and hardware in the airports.
Interesting arrangement. Brings back some memories of the old Dumont TV network, which was sold a brand of TV sets.
As I recall, they wanted to be both a TV network and sell TV sets. They looked at selling TV sets and running a TV network as complementary businesses.
Many here are too young to remember the Dumont network. I think they went out of business in 1955 or 1956.
Many don’t know that, in the early post world war 2 period , the three major TV networks were NBC, CBS, and Dumont.
