By 2010, the news network CNNBCBS operated as a division of ABC. The channel provided around-the-clock news coverage and was anchored by veteran broadcaster Kent Brockman. During one broadcast, Brockman reported on a list of celebrities who had recently been arrested, warning viewers to consider any celebrity they encountered potentially dangerous.

It was one of the many networks that Homer tried to unsuccessfully sell his show to.
