The Satellite News Channel (SNC) was an American news-based cable television channel satellite-delivered cable network, the channel is best remembered as the first 24-hour news cable competition to the Cable News Network (CNN) SNC's headquarters were based in the New York City suburb of Stamford, Connecticut. The channel's format consisted of 18-minute-long rotating newscasts with the remaining time in each half-hour block allocated for a regional news summary; this lent credence to SNC's slogan, "Give us 18 minutes, we'll give you the world". SNC launched on June 21, 1982. During that time, it provided competition for CNN, the first cable network to do so at the time. https://archive.org/details/satellite-news-channel-one-year-anniversary-video
