SNC used footage from ABC News and seven [[Washington, D.C.]]-based crews and stories from other overseas networks to provide a rotating newscast every 20 minutes. However, this channel had difficulty getting clearance from cable systems, so ABC News and Group W decided to sell it to its competitor, [[CNN]] (a subsidiary of [[WarnerMedia|Time Warner]]'s [[Turner Broadcasting System]]). CNN ceased Satellite News Channel's operations on October 27, 1983. SNC was either replaced by CNN or [[HLN (TV network)|CNN2]] on most cable systems. ====ABC News Now==== ABC News Now was a [[24-hour news cycle|24-hour]] [[Cable television|cable]] [[News broadcasting|news]] [[Cable network|network]] that launched on July 26, 2004, as a [[digital subchannel]] by ABC News, being the company's second attempt in the 24-hour cable news world after [[Satellite News Channel]].
