HLN (formerly Headline News, CNN Headline News and CNN2) is an American cable news channel owned by WarnerMedia, a subsidiary of AT&T Inc. A spin-off of CNN, it primarily carries a schedule of news programming during the daytime hours, with the remainder of its schedule dedicated to true crime programs.
The channel originally launched in 1982 as CNN2, a spin-off of CNN. Its original format featured a cycle of regularly updated segments at thirty-minute intervals twenty-four hours a day, briefly covering various areas of interest, such as national news, sports, business news, entertainment, and weather. Shortly after launching, the network was rebranded as Headline News and later, CNN Headline News. The network later introduced an automation system to cycle its segments in a pre-recorded format, removing the need for them to be aired live. In 2001, the channel began to diverge from this strict rolling news format, adding more live-anchored programming, and later introducing a primetime block featuring pundit-based programs, with hosts such as conservative radio host Glenn Beck and legal commentator Nancy Grace among others.
In the mid-2010s, HLN repositioned itself as a social media-centric network, highlighting headlines popular on social networking services, and introducing several programs relating to the subject of social media. Under new CNN president Jeff Zucker, the channel began to backpedal on this programming in 2016, gradually shifting to a focus on crime, "regional" headlines, and entertainment stories (in contrast to CNN's current focus on politics) during its daytime programming, with the remainder of its lineup being devoted primarily to true crime programming.
As of July 2015, HLN is available to approximately 91.1 million households (94.9 percent of pay television subscribers) in the United States, making it the most distributed American subscription network. Since the mid-2000s, HLN has been available internationally on pay television providers in parts of Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Canada.
