What if CNN never really took off and went off the air by the mid-80s. Would this mean we'd never see the rise of the 24-hour news channel? While we're at it, how would this affect other turners other channels? Would TBS go back to being local to Atlanta? Would TNT and Cartoon Network never get off the ground due to turner having a lousy track record with CNN (as well as the cable music channel which did flop heavily IOT).
