CNN Headline News is a spin-off network from the original Cable News Network (CNN) television news network in the United States. It began broadcasting on January 1, 1982 as "CNN2" but this was changed to its current name in 1983.

In 2005, the network departed from its roots in a rigid schedule of news updates every half-hour by offering "Headline Prime": longer, personality-based shows in the evening. Initial shows were an hour of entertainment news, Showbiz Tonight with A. J. Hammer at 7 ET, an hour of legal news and discussion, named after host Nancy Grace at 8 ET, and Prime News Tonight, a program covering national news hosted by Mike Galanos and Erica Hill. This eliminated the main difference between CNN Headline News and CNN during primetime, which had always broadcast a variety of news-related programs, such as documentaries and personality-based shows like Larry King Live.

At other times of the day, the channel still features 30-minute news programs. Every half-hour viewers get the latest updates on top stories (headlines), financial news, national weather reports, sports, and entertainment news. CNN Headline News is famous for its distinct "screen," in which the news anchor (or news footage) appears in a sort of visual "window" surrounded by constantly changing text, such as breaking news, sports scores, stock market reports, and weather updates.

"Headlines" (as it is known to people who work there) was always something of a stepchild at CNN: the unvarying rigidity of the news cycle was contrasted with the unpredictable, live nature of the parent network. It was remarkably stable, too: Chuck Roberts, who anchored the first newscast in 1982, is still anchoring. In the late 1990s, it pioneered using a digital video jukebox to recycle segments of one newscast seamlessly into another newscast, and laid off part of its staff. In fact, if one watches Headline News closely in a given weekend, one may find the same newscast that originally aired in the morning repeated long into the night (this is one reason why other networks as MSNBC and Fox News Channel have aired ads attacking Headline News for its repetition).

In 2003, Time Warner revamped CNN Headline News, as part of its response to competition from Fox News and MSNBC. Shows began to feature two anchors, and a more flexible format including live reports.

The network is quite popular with people who may not have time for lengthy news reports. TVs playing CNN Headline News can often be found in airports, bars, and other places where there is a high demand for "get to the point" news.

Since its inception in 1982, Headline News has been syndicated to network television afflliates in the United States. It has also been simulcast on AM radio stations across the country.
