CNN is reporting that the news channel is back on the air after a technical issue at its parent company Warner Bros. Discovery disrupted CNN, HBO and other channels in the middle of the day on Monday, August 24, according to reporting on CNN.com by Brian Stelter.
Responding to the disruption, which produced pixelated images, CNN anchor Dana Bash told viewers at around 12:51 that “there was a technical issue across Warner Bros. Discovery’s channels that resulted in losing our signal. We’re very sorry for the interruption. We are very happy to be back.”
On the CNN.com website, Brian Stelter reported that “viewers saw scrambled screens and pixelated chaos, leading some to search social media for information about the outage…The disruption apparently started shortly after 12 p.m. Eastern. On CNN, which was airing an “Inside Politics” panel on President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada, the screen seemed to freeze and then glitch into pixelated blocks of color and fragmented on-air imagery.”
Stelter reported that the outages may have varied depending on the platform viewers were using.
