Just a day after the last Apple TV channel refresh, CNNgo has added more news content to the set-top box lineup. The new channel appears to require an active cable subscription to view live content, but on demand news content is available without authenticating a subscription. This marks the first time content from CNN has been available on the Apple TV.
CNNgo joins ABC News, Bloomberg TV, CBS News, CNBC, PBS, Sky News, and WSJ Live in providing news content on the Apple TV in the United States.
The channel is organized by the Featured front page, Live TV for cable subscribers, Shows for seeing everything CNN offers, and Must See for viewing news by categories like politics and entertainment as well as top news and many other sections.
The Live section of CNNgo also includes a multi-hour schedule of upcoming broadcasts.
Supported cable providers at launch include AT&T, Cox, DirecTV, Dish, Verizon and a long list of others. Viewers can view on-demand videos available on CNNgo without authenticating a subscription, although live news requires activation.
The CNNgo channel on Apple TV is similar to the video content including live news after activation made available on the CNN app for iPhone and iPad.
CNNgo joins the Apple TV channel lineup just one day after TED, Tastemakers, and Young Hollywood apps launched as content options.

about time
time for apple to start grouping channels
Means absolutely nothing of you are a ciord cutter. They have to get their ass in gear and forget about having a subscription because someone else is going to take their lunch and it isn’t coming back.
It isn’t like any news organization today is doing such a bang up job that they people are completely loyal.
Well Fox News, but that’s a whole different story. Not even sure they qualify as news
Fox News is bad, all Hail Obama
More US content. Still no BBC iPlayer, ITV, 4OD. Every other box and smart TV in the UK has them. It’s getting embarrassing now.
When PBS has live news on Apple TV I will cut the cord. CNN and the networks don’t work for me.
CAN’T access CNN here in Louisville, KY – our cable company, Time Warner is not even listed on the recognized Cable providers needed to access CNN. Unbelievable? There are a million people here and still can’t access it – HELP Thanks…julienoble@aol.com
