My Best Guess: Okay, I have to admit...I have absolutely no idea how they're going to differentiate CNN from CNN Headline News. Not even going to venture a guess, especially since "headline news" was a little more gossipy and "Today Show"-y than regular CNN.According to Sirius: CNN Headline News on SIRIUS is a simulcast of the television news programming featuring such widely acclaimed shows as Prime News Tonight, Showbiz Tonight, Nancy Grace and Robin & Company.
Curt's Rebuttal: Yeah, that wasn't much help. But...it's still news, I guess.
Sample Playlist
- Showbiz Tonight: So, this is what I got to listen to on my morning drive. And no, that's not a typo. I guess it was last night's program, which for some reason gets played during the morning drive on the West Coast. Weird. Anyway, this morning (last night) they were talking about celebrity pregnancies, and the danger that the paparazzi pose to them. Thrilling.
- CNN Headline News: And this was basically a simulcast of the television channel, as they continually referred to visuals I couldn't see. Today's stories included a California lawsuit aimed at toy manufacturers and retailers to help protect families against unsafe levels of paint in their products, as well as news developing on the scientific front that skin cells may be able to be used in place of embryonic stem cells.
Verdict: Well, if I'm adding a news station, it won't be this one...largely because there's a showbiz program during my morning drive. Plus, that picture to the left of the guy pointing is just creepy.
