CNN Live Video Service

Now you can watch news reports from CNN at your computer. The CNN Live Video Service offers videos fromCNN Video screenshot their news reports at this website. There are nine channels to watch, World, Politics, Entertainment, Tech, Living, Health, Business, Sports and Weather. Each channel contains lots of news clips to watch. In addition to news, there is also a section called iReport that contains news stories made by citizens (Citizen Journalism). In addition, there is also a search service available for people that wanted news on a particular issue. The site does not only offer videos, it also features podcasts and internet radio services.

I think this service is really beneficial, especially to people on the move such as businessmen and doctors. This is because they can watch news reports without access to a TV or enable them to watch CNN if CNN is not available in their current area. Note that this is not a live TV service of CNN but just collections of news featured in CNN news reports.

Also, the site requires a high-speed Internet connection for optimal user experience. Broadband connections should be at least 500 Kbps to view the videos. CNN does not recommend using dial-up or other low bandwidth connections to access video content in this site.
