History
Launch
Initially broadcast as "CNN2" on January 1, 1982, the network would rename itself one year later to CNN Headline News. The use of CNN in the title of the network has been intermittent throughout the networks broadcast years.The network's programming focused around the ideal that a viewer could tune in at any time and, in just 30 minutes, receive the most popular national and international stories, in addition to feature reports. The format, known as the Headline News Wheel, featured "Dollars and Sense" personal finance reports at 15 and 45 minutes past each hour, Headline Sports at 19 and 49 minutes, lifestyle reports at 24 and 54 minutes past each hour, and general news during the top and bottom of the hour. Another regular feature was the "Hollywood Minute" which was often fitted in after the Headline Sports segment. In the network's early years, a two minute recap of the hours top stories, the CNN Headlines, would run after the sports segment.

A new look
With the start of the new millennium, the network became noted for its distinct "screen" starting in August of 2001, 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.Format changes
Due to the growing competition from the Fox News Channel and MSNBC, Time Warner revamped CNN Headline News in 2003 towards a more flexible format, featuring live reports and two anchors hosting the network's rolling news coverage.By far, the network's drastic changes came in 2005 when the network dramatically scaled back the amount of on-screen information following much scrutiny and lampooning of the format, such as USA Today calling the screen a "jumbled mess." The new look would consist of a yellow bar, which featured sports scores and stock quotes, in addition to a basic news ticker. The network also began a shift away from their rolling news coverage throughout primetime to longer, personality-based programs, under the title Headline Prime in February of the same year.
The networks new programs included Showbiz Tonight with A. J. Hammer and Karyn Bryant, a program focusing on the entertainment news of the day, a self-named legal news and discussion program, hosted by Nancy Grace, and a general national news program titled Prime News Tonight, hosted by Erica Hill and 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.
Expansions and additions
After the network achieved a ratings gain following the primetime lineup changes, the network introduced a new group of changes to the primetime, moving the airing of Showbiz Tonight, removing Karyn Bryant as a co-host, and the addition of a self-titled talk show, hosted by talk radio personality Glenn Beck in May of 2006.Also during 2006, Headline News once again shifted towards more taped program using its digital jukebox system to shuffle different segments of the newscast, unless breaking news occurs. In addition, Headline Prime was expanded into the weekend with the same programs in the same timeslots.
Recent changes
Continuing changes on the network, Headline News introduced a new set in December of 2006, along with a new general look to the network's rolling news coverage in early 2007. The shift was seen as a flashier, tabloidish look to the network, with the set having a likeness to the feeling of a lobby.Programming changes are also expected in upcoming months, with the introduction of News To Me, a program featuring only user-generated content, in May, a daily broadcast of the previous evenings Larry King Live, in June, and a shift towards the network's rolling news coverage being handled by a single anchor, deviating from the network's traditional dual anchor format since 2003.

Transmission and reception
Due to the network's tradition of rolling news coverage, the network has become popular with people who may not have time to watch lengthy news reports, in addition to placed where a high demand for "get to the point" news exists, such as airports, bars, and many other places.Since its inception, Headline News has been syndicated to network television affiliates in the United States. Audio of the channel has also been simulcast on AM radio stations across the country via Westwood One. As of 2007, however, these affiliations are being phased out due to the format changes on the channel.
The audio feed is also carried on XM Satellite Radio channel 123, and Sirius Satellite Radio channel 133. Until the early 1990s, much of Headline News' output was simulcast on CNN International.
Ratings and Revenues
In 2005 with a revamp of the network's primetime schedule, the network went past MSNBC in 2005 to take the number 3 slot[1]. HLN's Primetime programming block of Nancy Grace, Glenn Beck and a repeat of Nancy Grace regularly beats MSNBC's Primetime lineup in terms of total viewers (viewers ages 2+). [2]Thanks in part to the uptick in ratings from the late 90's/early '00's. the network now brings in over $150 million in revenues for its parent Time Warner. Although that is close to what MSNBC earns for NBC Universal and General Electric (at $200 million), it pales in comparison to what the mother network, CNN U.S. rakes in ($800 million)[3].

Headline News presents a small variety of programming, providing rolling news coverage from the early morning through the late afternoon (Eastern Time), followed by subject-oriented programming during primetime hours.Weekday Schedule

Miscellaneous
During its first year, Headline News had a competitor in the form of Group W's Satellite News Channel. That cable network lasted from June 21, 1982, until October 27, 1983.)
Offices for CNN HeadlineNews.
On January 8, 1992, Headline News was almost the victim of a hoax. President Bush had fainted at a state dinner in Tokyo, and a caller claiming to be the president's physician called and claimed that Bush had died. At 9:45 a.m., anchorman Don Harrison prepared to break the story, stating "This just in to CNN Headline News, and we say right off the bat, we have not confirmed this through any other sources..." Another person, off camera, then yelled, "NO! Stop!" After glancing away momentarily, Harrison continued, "We are now getting a correction. We will not give you that story. It was regarding some rather tragic news involving President Bush, but updating that story, President Bush is reported to be resting comfortably." [4]
