Calling All Anglophiles Who Crave Cable News: Where in the Dickens is CNN in London?
Let's face it, folks. Sometimes you're in jolly old England, craving a cuppa and a dose of international news that isn't entirely focused on the royal corgis (though, those fluffy diplomats deserve their airtime too). But where do you turn your telly to catch the latest headlines from CNN? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
The Great Channel Conundrum: Farewell Freesat, Hello Sky!
Previously, CNN was a friendly face on Freesat, the free-to-air satellite service. But fear not, news aficionados! While CNN may have hopped platforms, it hasn't vanished into the fog. For Londoners with Sky subscriptions, CNN now resides on the glorious channel 506. That's right, tune in and get your daily dose of global goings-on, all in glorious HD (because who wants blurry Boris updates?).
A Word to the Wise: Not All Sky Packages are Created Equal
Now, before you grab your fish and chips and settle in for an evening of Wolf Blitzer, a quick heads-up. Not all Sky packages include CNN. Make sure your subscription includes the channel before you get comfy. No one wants the telly blues after a long day exploring Big Ben!
Here's a tip: Check your Sky package details online or give them a ring to confirm if you have access to channel 506.
Alternative Options for the Disgruntled Skyless
Maybe you're a rebel rouser who doesn't subscribe to Sky, or perhaps you're just visiting London and haven't sorted out the telly. Fear not, intrepid news seeker! Here are a few alternatives:
- The Power of the Web: Head to the CNN website or their app and stream the news live. Just be prepared for potential buffering – remember, transatlantic bandwidth can be a fickle mistress.
- Hit the Pub: Many pubs in London have tellies tuned to international news channels. Grab a pint and catch the news while mingling with the locals (bonus points for lively Brexit debates!).
- Befriend a Sky Subscriber: Cozy up with a friend who has Sky and enjoy a CNN marathon. They might even share the popcorn!
