The network is known for its dramatic live coverage of breaking news, some of which has drawn criticism as overly sensationalistic. While CNN ranked 14th among all basic cable networks in 2019, it was up to number 11 in 2021. According to Nielsen, in June 2021 CNN ranked third in viewership among cable news networks, behind Fox News and MSNBC, averaging 580,000 viewers throughout the day, down 49% from a year earlier, amid sharp declines in viewers across all cable news networks. Īs of September 2018, CNN had 90.1 million television households as subscribers (97.7% of households with cable) in the United States.
Upon its launch in 1980, CNN was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage, and was the first all-news television channel in the United States. It was founded in 1980 by American media proprietor Ted Turner and Reese Schonfeld as a 24-hour cable news channel.

The grandparents want these new policies and law named after Olivia, the statement said. Now that the legal matters have resolved - Olivia’s grandparents want to join forces with the community and state to bring public awareness to Munchausen’s disease or medical child abuse and to change Mandatory Reporter Policies and Laws,” attorney Hollynd Hoskins said in the statement. “Olivia’s grandparents are completely devastated over the preventable death of their bright, talented and beautiful granddaughter.
The attorney representing Olivia’s estate and the family in a civil case released a statement following the sentencing. The judge added that Turner may not have any contact with her other daughter, Samantha, sparking debate between the defense, prosecution and Gautreau. Herron also ruled on Wednesday that Turner will not be allowed to profit on any information or facts related to this case, and any compensation she receives will be donated to the charities she defrauded. Ohanian said Turner wants to take accountability for what she did in this case, but he was adamant Turner isn’t responsible for killing her child. He dismissed claims that Turner suffers from Munchausen-by-proxy, an illness only diagnosable by a mental health professional. Turner’s mother questioned the charges against her daughter in a letter read by defense attorney Ara Ohanian. Prosecutor Valerie Brewster read a letter from Olivia’s grandfather Lonnie Gautreau, who called Olivia an “amazing child.” The prosecution also played a montage of photos and videos of Olivia on behalf of Gautreau. “And ultimately, just the sad thing is nothing that we do in this courtroom is ever going to make that right.” “I think this plea recognizes some level of accountability on the part of this defendant for this insidious years-long crime and her role in hastening the death of a very special, very sick young girl,” Gallo said.
Hopefully, the sentence that’s imposed will bring some closure to both sides and allow people to begin to heal at least,” Herron said.Ĭhief Deputy District Attorney Christopher Gallo reiterated his frustration with prosecuting this case, as he had at the time of the plea agreement. “These cases are difficult for both sides, for everyone. Today’s sentencing is pursuant to a “fiercely negotiated” plea agreement that came after months of challenges on both sides, Herron said. Multiple physicians told investigators that the conditions Olivia supposedly had were not supported after examination, and six doctors said none of the conditions constituted terminal illnesses, prosecutors said. She died in August 2017 of intestinal failure after Turner signed a do-not-resuscitate order, telling doctors that Olivia’s quality of life was too poor to keep her alive, according to a 2019 indictment. Olivia participated in events planned by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and was seen on ride-alongs with police and firefighters honoring her wishes of serving her community.
