Turner to Test Airport Channel: Turner Broadcasting System Inc. said it plans to test market the Airport Channel, which will feature TV monitors placed in airports across the country carrying an edited version of CNN Headline News. The Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago airports will be the first sites for the new channel, which will also carry commercial advertising targeted to the business traveler. CNN President Tom Johnson said research on the Airport Channel found that people were receptive to the idea because it could cut down on their “perceived waiting time.”
