The latest rough patch for CNN illustrates the two contradictions at the network's heart. In a brutal time for the news business, CNN is one of the few media organizations thriving while its most visible part in the United States, prime-time on the flagship network, is hurting. The company has built its brand on nonpartisan reporting, while CNN's audience tilts Democratic as much or more as Fox News Channel's audience is Republican. (AP Photo/Ric Feld,File)

CNN's new website, $15 million and a decade in the making, was scheduled to launch this fall. Now, Capital has learned, the site relaunch has been pushed to early 2014.

Some unexpected technical issues arose during the rebuild, a source told Capital. CNN will also be extending its beta-testing period through the holidays to ensure that the launch goes off without a hitch.
