CNN has been struggling to stay afloat for some time now due to its constant broadcasting of propaganda and its far-left-leaning opinions.
On Friday, CNN’s Kate Bolduan announced that the outlet would be closing its doors at its Atlanta headquarters after more than 35 years of broadcasting.
“Before we go today, we are marking an important moment today in CNN’s history. Today’s show will be the final broadcast from the CNN Center in Atlanta,” Bolduan said in her opening monologue.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the network’s decision to close the CNN center has been years in the making.
The outlet had already moved its weekday anchors to New York or Washington, D.C.. However, the CNN Center in Atlanta was still home to significant operations, such as its digital and International branches.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
After more than 35 years, CNN is leaving its downtown mainstay in stages this year, with the entire operation moving back to renovated space at the 30-acre Turner Techwood campus in Midtown, according to a CNN spokeswoman. CNN Center, for many years, served not only as a corporate headquarters but also as an international calling card for Atlanta. It was equal parts home to Ted Turner’s original 24/7 news channel and tourist attraction — the network’s logo a fixture of the Atlanta skyline. But CNN’s move out of its namesake office building has been years in the making. CNN effectively moved its headquarters to New York years ago, and the hulking CNN Center has been slowly hollowed out. AT&T, CNN’s former parent company, sold CNN Center in 2021 to Florida-based real estate firms CP Group and Rialto Capital Management for nearly $164 million as a cost-saving move. Neither company responded to requests for comment Thursday on how CNN’s announcement will affect the building’s operations, its other tenants, and its food court. CNN’s new owner, Warner Bros. Discovery, is now prepping smaller space at its Midtown Techwood property, which Ted Turner purchased in 1979 to start CNN. Techwood houses departments for other cable networks, including TBS, TNT, Turner Classic Movies, Cartoon Network, and truTV, as well as sports programming.
In September, CNN hit a new record low as Americans began to distrust mainstream media outlets.
The Left-leaning network saw a historic low in the third quarter, dropping to 119,000 average prime-time viewers in the demo and 88,000 average total day demo viewers.
For context, for the third quarter of 2023, CNN had 471,000 total viewers, while Fox News had 1.10 million. MSNBC saw 813,000 views in the home stretch of the year.
