NEW YORK — CNN Headline News personality Glenn Beck will air a four-part series on adult entertainment. “Porn: America’s Addiction” is scheduled for Oct. 16-19 on the cable news channel.

“On Monday, Glenn profiles how a man and his wife dealt with his porn addiction,” CNN announced on its website.
