CNN no longer on Apple TV?
Was CNN removed from Apple TV ?
From what I understand in reading through these posts, it doesn’t matter what mode Apple TV you have, even the new 4K models no longer have the CNN go app.
Question marked as
I have a 3rd Generation. Where did CNN disappear to?
According to a user in a similar thread, he or she has received confirmation from Apple Support staff.
Are you no longer providing access to CNN?
You are not addressing Apple here. We on this forum are end users much like yourself. It seems that CNN ended the service, as likely it is a lot of special effort for a shrinking group of users of these models devices.

It would be nice to hear from them. It appears the channel has been removed from all versions.
apparently not
for Apple that doesn’t support customer loyalty at all, it can force Apple TV users to switch to another streaming device... I am not going to go buy a brand new current Apple TV because they’re pulling flagship apps from older devices along with leaving a ton of dumb apps. They pulled HBO last year.
It’s about moving us into their 4K world. U either get onboard with a new device or get left behind.
U can let CNN know how u feel. I’m particularly upset with CNN doing this on a Election Day and in the midst of a pandemic. Shame on them!

You have an eight year old device. Content providers (not Apple) had no particular interest in supporting it anymore. The same thing happens with other devices. A number of older Roku devices, for example, stopped being able to stream Netflix not to long ago. So, no matter what device you buy, it will eventually become obsolete.
I watched last night, tonight the App is gone. AppleTV 4th generation.

I was watching CNN until mid-day, powered down, then next time turned on TV, my appleTV did not have CNN any longer. It was not listed as an available channel, could not find it with search to add it back in, updated the software, restarted appleTV many times, but gone!
Same here. Was watching it last night, turned off the TV for a little bit. Went back to catch up on election results and Boom, it was gone. I even did a restore to see if something went wrong, still gone. Checked the list of apps to see if it was "hidden" and it's not even shown in the list any more.
WE NEED ANSWERS!
I'm posting on this thread again because I am really shocked about this. I have four 3rd Gen Apple TV's, I primarily use them watch CNN and little else. I'm not big into TV Shows, or Movies I pay attention to what's happening in the world around me. To me that's what's most important. Truly CNN and news in general encompasses all genres; drama.comedy, action and very much horror.
For reasons unknown and without warning my main source of information has been taken away and I'd like to have it back right away.
I believe/hope Apple monitors this support Forum.
CNN dropping off suddenly made me think I had a technical problem with my AppleTV, and maybe I needed to re-login with my cable provider, update the firmware on my AppleTV, or switch CNN to Show, if somehow it got hidden inadvertently.
Wasted a couple hours on this yesterday, after realizing now that this is a widespread problem with other customers.
I have been using CNNgo on my apple tv for years and you suddenly cut it off in the middle of one of the most important news stories of the century?! Why? I notice that you take apps off the appleTV all the time and sometimes you don’t even have apps like HBOMax. So I ask you: why should I ever buy another apple TV. I’ll switch to fire stick.
