A billionaire broadcaster created a chilling video that shows what news bulletins will look like at the end of the world.

CNN founder Ted Turner's clip was leaked over 20 years after it was revealed that his channel has a plan in place for a possible doomsday event.

At the time many people thought he was joking, when he said: "Barring satellite problems, we won't be signing off until the world ends…"

He added: "We'll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event.

"We'll play the National Anthem only one time, on the first of June [the day CNN launched], and when the end of the world comes, we'll play 'Nearer My God To Thee' before we sign off."

Now, proof has been provided to Jalopnik, in the form of a never-before-seen video that the last living CNN employee will be required to play before succumbing to their inevitable demise.

The clip, which was recorded in the 1980s, shows a brass band performing a solemn rendition of 'Nearer My God To Thee'.

The song was reportedly the last song played on the Titanic before the ship went down.

It is currently saved on CNN's MIRA archive system, under the name Turner Doomsday Video and will only be used when the final days are upon us.

Rumours of the doomsday tape began circulating as far back as 1988 in the New Yorker and then resurfaced again in 2001 in the Daily News.

In response to how Jalopnik obtained the footage, they said: "Since this article has gone up, we've been getting a number of questions as to how we obtained the footage.

"While we can't go into specifics, it's not something we've been sitting on since I was an intern in 2009.

"While I've been aware of its existence since then, it was only acquired after I came onboard here at Jalopnik."
