Do you wish to watch CNN on Apple TV? It is possible, and this article will give you a few ideas to stream CNN on your Apple TV. CNN is a 24 hours cable news channel in the United States. CNN or Cable News Network was launched in 1980. The CNN channel is now available in 212 countries. If you are an Apple TV user with a 3rd generation or older model, you cannot stream the CNN channel since those models lack the support of the App Store. So you will need a 4th gen Apple TV or higher model to enjoy the news channel.
To stream all the latest news and updates on the CNN app, one must have a cable TV provider account. If you had an active TV provider subscription with CNN on its package, you could use it to watch the CNN channel on your Apple TV for free.
