CNN has launched ‘CNN Enhanced TV,’ “a new content-rich interactive news service offering through EchoStar’s DISH Network satellite TV service.” Subscribers “can get the latest headlines and images from CNN.com in conjunction with CNN/U.S. programming on DISH Network’s DishHOME on channel 100.”

The service is CNN’s “first major one-screen interactive TV application that runs along with its regular CNN linear cable channel to 11 million EchoStar customers outfitted with ITV-capable set-top boxes,” according to TV Week.
