Warner Bros. Discovery attempted to spun off CNN as an independent brand with the launch of

"Sometimes we might have capacity on IS20 - which is a satellite that sits over Southern Africa - but we don't have over Eutelsat 36B which sits over the rest of sub-Saharan Africa - that's the complication of it."
