Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. has announced that Inside CNN Atlanta, the new name for the redesigned CNN Studio Tour, will officially launch in June 2005, just after the Memorial Day holiday weekend and kickoff of the summer travel season.

Ranked among Atlanta’s most popular destinations during 18 years of operation, Inside CNN Atlanta is a 50-minute guided walking tour during which visitors get a close look inside the studios of the world’s leader in television news and the network that invented the concept of 24-hour news.

The Atlanta attraction includes more than $5.5 million in recent additions and upgrades, transforming the tour into a new experience for first time or returning guests.

New elements are featured throughout the tour, starting “inside the world of CNN” in a dramatic globe, approximately 48-feet in diameter, atop CNN Center’s famous atrium escalator. Other new features include a completely new control room stop, new interactive kiosks, corridors of history depicting the network’s famous breaking news coverage, flat screen monitors with live news, and a new tour finale with personal reports from CNN’s best known award winning journalists.

The new features and renovations are the first major upgrades to the tour since 1999. The opening is timed to coincide with CNN’s silver anniversary in June 2005. The CNN Studio Tour in Atlanta, which opened in 1987 hosting more than 300,000 visitors each year, was the inspiration for Inside CNN New York, which opened at Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle in September 2004. The attractions are offered in English and several international languages.
