CNN is also,being dropped by hotel chains...just in last three months I have travelled to these places where last year ( or a year before) they had CNN but now they do not:
Amba Hotel Charring Cross London
Marriot Hotel Innsbruck
Grand Hotel Trento
Grand Hotel Verona
St Regis Hotel Florence
......most replaced by Al Jasera or RT...
Now, if I want to go to sleep to the monotone voice of Wolf Blitzer, while on the road, I have to get my iPad and hook up to my Slingo in Canada...
