At first, the channel aired only during daytime hours on a mix of Broadcast and Cable stations. Over-the-air affiliates included:
One of the cable affiliates was WCCO Two in the Twin Cities area, Minneapolis and St. Paul . In 1985, FNN severed ties with its broadcast stations and established a 24-hour feed on cable TV only. At night, it added Score, a mini-network that aired sports events and news. It may have the first network to report that the death of budding Basketball star Len Bias (in June 1986 ) was related to his use of cocaine. Also airing in the overnight hours was Venture, a series of long-form speeches by business leaders. In 1989, FNN was purchased by NBC and went off the air. Bill Griffeth , Ron Insana , and Sue Herera all moved from FNN to CNBC , NBC's business news service. All three are still at CNBC today. |
