The Urgent Quest: Finding CNN in the NYC Jungle (Without Asking Your Roommate to Pause Friends)
Ah, New York City. The city that never sleeps, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of... and also where finding your favorite channel on cable can turn into a waking nightmare. Especially when that channel is CNN, and all you crave is a little dose of breaking news (or shall we say, a break from the existential dread of, well, living in a big city).
Fear not, fellow New Yorker! Your struggle to find CNN is a tale as old as time (well, maybe as old as cable itself). But fret no more, for I am here to be your Virgil, guiding you out of this channel-surfing purgatory.

Spectrum Seekers: Rejoice, Spectrum subscribers! Your CNN oasis awaits on channel 19 (or possibly the high-falutin' HD channel 819 if you're fancy like that).
-
Verizon FiOS Fanatics: For you FiOS folks, buckle up, because things get a touch trickier. CNN might be hiding on channel 1111 (or the elusive HD channel 817).

Remember: If all else fails, there's always the tried-and-true method of asking your roommate to pause Friends for a hot second. Just be prepared for a lecture on why CNN is "biased" or "fake news" (depending on their political persuasion).
