===Past programming===

For the 2014–15 season, after canceling ''[[Piers Morgan Tonight]]'' (which, itself, replaced the long-running ''[[Larry King Live]]''), CNN experimented with running factual and reality-style programming during the 9:00&nbsp;p.m. ET hour, such as [[John Walsh (television host)|John Walsh]]'s ''[[The Hunt with John Walsh|The Hunt]]'', ''[[This Is Life with Lisa Ling]]'', and [[Mike Rowe]]'s ''[[Somebody's Gotta Do It]]''. Then-president [[Jeff Zucker]] explained that this new lineup was intended to shift CNN away from a reliance on [[pundit]]-oriented programs, and attract younger demographics to the network. Zucker stated that the 9:00&nbsp;p.m. hour could be pre-empted during major news events for expanded coverage. These changes coincided with the introduction of a new imaging campaign for the network, featuring the slogan "Go there".<ref name="variety-newprime">{{cite news|title=CNN Keeps Burnett, Cooper in Primetime While Adding 'CNN Tonight' at 10 P.M.|url=https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cnn-keeps-burnett-cooper-in-primetime-while-adding-cnn-tonight-at-10-pm-1201155404|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|access-date=April 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413093546/http://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cnn-keeps-burnett-cooper-in-primetime-while-adding-cnn-tonight-at-10-pm-1201155404/|archive-date=April 13, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="lat-newlineup">{{cite news|title=CNN unveils new prime-time lineup, moves away from 9 p.m. talk|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-cnn-prime-time-20140410,0,3282490.story|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=April 11, 2014|first=Joe|last=Flint|date=April 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140411213034/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-cnn-prime-time-20140410,0,3282490.story|archive-date=April 11, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="tvn-cnnnewlineup">{{cite web|title=CNN Doubles Down on a Mix of Live News, Original Series and Films|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-doubles-down-on-a-mix-of-live-news-original-series-and-films_b221080|work=TVNewer|access-date=April 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140411143252/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-doubles-down-on-a-mix-of-live-news-original-series-and-films_b221080|archive-date=April 11, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In May 2014, CNN premiered ''[[The Sixties (miniseries)|The Sixties]]'', a documentary miniseries produced by [[Tom Hanks]], and [[Gary Goetzman]] which chronicled the United States in the 1960s.

By 2019, CNN had produced at least 35 original series. Alongside the Hanks/Goetzman franchise (including the 2018 spin-off ''1968''), CNN has aired other documentary miniseries relating to news and U.S. policies, such as ''The Bush Years'', and ''American Dynasties: The [[Kennedy family|Kennedys]]''—which saw the highest ratings of any CNN original series premiere to-date, with 1.7 million viewers.

With the takeover of CNN by [[Chris Licht]] and Warner Bros. Discovery, it was announced in October 2022 that CNN would cut back on acquisitions and commissions from third-parties as a cost-cutting measure, but Licht stressed that "longform content remains an important pillar of our programming", while the network announced a slate for 2023 that would include commissions such as ''Giuliani: What Happened to America's Mayor?'', ''United States of Scandal'', and ''[[The 2010s (miniseries)|The 2010s]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ted |date=2022-12-13 |title=CNN Unveils 2023 Original Series And Films Slate: Projects Include 'Giuliani,' Jake Tapper-Hosted 'United States Of Scandal' And 'The 2010s' |url=https://deadline.com/2022/12/cnn-original-series-films-rudy-giuliani-1235197621/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en-US |archive-date=December 13, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213145313/https://deadline.com/2022/12/cnn-original-series-films-rudy-giuliani-1235197621/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Johnson |first=Ted |date=2022-10-28 |title=CNN To Scale Back Original Series And Films As It Looks To Move Longform In House |url=https://deadline.com/2022/10/cnn-to-scale-back-original-series-and-films-1235157404/ |access-date=2022-12-13 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]]|language=en-US |archive-date=March 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230322123346/https://deadline.com/2022/10/cnn-to-scale-back-original-series-and-films-1235157404/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

[[File:CNN Election Express.jpg|thumb|right|The CNN Election Express bus, used for broadcasts]]
CNN's political coverage in HD was first given mobility by the introduction of the CNN Election Express bus in October 2007. The Election Express vehicle, capable of five simultaneous HD feeds, was used for the channel's CNN-YouTube presidential debates and for presidential candidate interviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/17920|title=CNN Rolls Out Election Express|publisher=Tvtechnology.com|date=October 17, 2007|access-date=October 12, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111125163505/http://www.tvtechnology.com/article/17920|archive-date=November 25, 2011}}</ref>

In December 2008, CNN introduced a comprehensive redesign of its on-air appearance, which replaced an existing style that had been used since 2004. On-air graphics took a rounded, flat look in a predominantly black, white, and red color scheme, and the introduction of a new box next to the CNN logo for displaying show logos and segment-specific graphics, rather than as a large banner above the lower third. The redesign also replaced the scrolling ticker with a static "flipper", which could either display a feed of news headlines (both manually inserted and taken from the [[RSS]] feeds of CNN.com), or "topical" details related to a story.<ref name=CNNnewlook>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/160701-CNN_Gets_New_Graphic_Look.php|title=CNN Gets New Graphic Look|date=December 15, 2008|magazine=Broadcasting & Cable|last=Dickson|first=Glen|access-date=January 24, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206234223/http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/160701-CNN_Gets_New_Graphic_Look.php|archive-date=February 6, 2009|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="tvn-2011look">{{cite web|title=CNN Debuts New Graphics Package|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-debuts-new-graphics-package_b47645|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140713161604/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-debuts-new-graphics-package_b47645|archive-date=July 13, 2014|website=TVNewser|access-date=September 3, 2014}}</ref>

CNN's next major redesign was introduced on January 10, 2011, replacing the dark, flat appearance of the 2008 look with a glossier, blue-and-white color scheme, moving the secondary logo box to the opposite end of the screen, and framing its graphics for the [[16:9]] aspect ratio (which is downscaled to a [[letterboxing (filming)|letterboxed]] format for standard definition feeds).<ref name="tvn-2011look"/> On February 18, 2013, following Jeff Zucker's arrival as head of the network, the "flipper" was dropped and reverted to a scrolling ticker.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/so-long-flipper-the-ticker-returns-to-cnn_b167507|title=The Ticker Returns to CNN|last=Airens|first=Chris|date=February 18, 2013|work=TVNewser|access-date=February 19, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130221024656/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/so-long-flipper-the-ticker-returns-to-cnn_b167507|archive-date=February 21, 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On August 11, 2014, CNN introduced a new graphics package, dropping the glossy appearance for a flat, rectangular scheme incorporating red, white, and black colors, and the [[Gotham (typeface)|Gotham]] typeface. The ticker alternated between general headlines and financial news from [[CNN Business]], and the secondary logo box was replaced with a smaller box below the CNN bug, which displayed either the title, [[hashtag]], or [[Twitter]] handle for the show being aired or its anchor.<ref name="tvn-2014graphics">{{cite web|title=CNN Updates Graphics Package|url=http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-updates-graphics-package_b235005|website=TVNewser|access-date=September 3, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140815050801/http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn-updates-graphics-package_b235005|archive-date=August 15, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> In April 2016, CNN began to introduce a new corporate typeface, known as "CNN Sans", across all of its platforms. Inspired by [[Helvetica Neue]] and commissioned after consultations with Troika Design Group, the font family consists of 30 different versions with varying weights and widths to facilitate use across print, television, and digital mediums.<ref name="promaxbda-newfont">{{cite web|title=CNN customizes new company-wide font|url=http://www.promaxbda.org/brief/content/cnn-customizes-new-company-wide-font#!|website=PromaxBDA|access-date=September 22, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911040833/http://www.promaxbda.org/brief/content/cnn-customizes-new-company-wide-font#!|archive-date=September 11, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> CNN International would also adopt these graphics, but with the CNN logo bug having a white on red color scheme to differentiate it from the domestic network.<ref name=":22">{{Cite web |last=Hill |first=Michael P. |date=2023-06-01 |title=CNN rolls out new insert graphics in conjunction with its 43rd birthday |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/06/01/cnn-new-graphics-chryons-lower-thirds/?og=1 |access-date= |website=NewscastStudio |language=en-US}}</ref>

In August 2016, CNN announced the launch of CNN Aerial Imagery and Reporting (CNN AIR), a drone-based news collecting operation to integrate aerial imagery and reporting across all CNN branches and platforms, along with Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner entities.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/18/cnn-air|title=CNN is launching a drone-based news collecting operation|work=[[TechCrunch]]|date=August 18, 2016|access-date=January 19, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180407122207/https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/18/cnn-air/|archive-date=April 7, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

On June 1, 2023, CNN refreshed its graphics to mark the 43rd anniversary of its launch, using gradients and [[Superellipse|rounded corners]], thinner fonts, and a modified layout that moved the show title to a secondary tab on the lower third next to the segment title, and replaced the ticker with a static "flipper" for the first time since 2013, among other changes.<ref name=":22"/> Amid poor internal reception to the redesign and the firing of Chris Licht as head of CNN, elements of the prior graphics began to be reinstated later that month, including the bolder typography previously used for lower third headlines.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-27 |title=CNN starts hitting the 'undo' key on font updates in graphics |url=https://www.newscaststudio.com/2023/06/27/cnn-reverting-graphics/?og=1 |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=NewscastStudio |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Darcy |first=Oliver |date=2023-06-27 |title=A bolder CNN is emerging after the ouster of former network chief Chris Licht |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/26/media/cnn-after-chris-licht-reliable-sources/index.html |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=CNN |language=en}}</ref> Further changes were made on August 14, 2023, with the return of the scrolling ticker and the show title box to make it closer resemble the 2014–23 graphics, but maintaining most of the other visual changes.<ref>{{Cite web |last=P.
