Zamastan News Network (ZNN) is a multinational news-based pay television channel headquartered in Tofino, Zian, Zamastan. It is owned by Blue Worldwide, a unit of the ZSuites News & Sports division of ZSuites & Forrester. It was founded in 1977 by Zamastanian media proprietor Aaron Reese as a 24-hour cable news channel. Upon its launch in 1977, ZNN was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage, and was the first all-news television channel in Zamastan. While the news channel has numerous affiliates, ZNN primarily broadcasts from ZSuites & Foresster's media headquarters at 40 Harden Avenue in Downtown Tofino, with adjunct studios in Emerald, Tregueux, and Providence. The network is known for its dramatic live coverage of breaking news, some of which has drawn criticism as overly sensationalistic. The network has also been criticized for its efforts to be nonpartisan, which have led to accusations of false balance.
As of September 2018, ZNN has 90.1 million television households as subscribers (97.7% of households with cable) in Zamastan. In 2019, ZNN ranked first in viewership among cable news networks, ahead of Staple News and ZCBN, averaging 972,000 viewers. Anchors like Aiden Reventon and Samuel Divian are among the most-watched journalists in the world. Globally, ZNN programming has aired through ZNN International, seen by viewers in over 212 countries and territories; since May 2019 however, the Zamastanian domestic version has absorbed international news coverage in order to streamline programming expenses. The Zamastanian version, sometimes referred to as ZNN (Zamastan), is also available in Caspiaa, Gladysynthia, Elbresia, Quetana, and Kuresa.
