When was it removed? Could be political due to US elections?

Sadly nothing that sinister. It was a commercial choice by WBD to pull back from linear distribution.

CNN was removed three years ago, nothing to do with US politics.

It's better now as far as resolution is concerned (HD instead of SD).

this is good news. more news channels available to us = more differing viewpoints. that is ok with me 😌

This is great, but unfortunately I had been subscribing to their fee to view, plugging my laptop into my old LG tv and it just renewed!  If they had returned a month ago, I would have saved a year in subscription.  Figures....👀

Pleased it has returned as I missed it when it was removed, it is a different slant on world affairs.

Thanks for the post.
