I'm not sure why I want to, but I can't seem to receive CNN Radio although I can get CNN TV on Astra 2.
According to the channel listings I should be able to...

CNN Radio used to be on Analog Astra@19E. Never seen it on Astra @28.2

Check www.lyngsat.com for 19E and 28E

The Sky box points at 28E

CNN Radio definitely was on Astra 2 the last time I checked, though that was quite a while back.

It had the channel label "5606".

I think it is designed to act as a news service provider similar to INN and IRN in the UK where tey provide a top-of-the-hour bulliten. When this has finished, they offer taped segments (usually interviews from those involved in stories) for stations to use in their own bullitens.

It's on 12051 V (the label is 5606 as already said by NC).

Most of the time there's no audio but there are headlines on the hour and hafl-hour.
