France 24, an all-English, all-world news channel, has planted its flag in American soil. So has al-Jazeera, though just barely. So is CNN thinking of finally expanding its second 24-hour channel, CNN International, to millions of American homes?

I posed that question today to CNN Worldwide chief Jim Walton and his answers surprised me. Why CNNi won't be coming to your digital cable system, and why it matters, is the program for today's TV Barn Podcast.
