The CCT is still down. Local communication is still up, and Yang was watching Vale channels. That's how she was able to watch TV. The purpose of the CCT is communication with people outside of the kingdom.

The news channel names we saw were:
 * VBC
 * VOX
 * VNN

The text from the second news report is "CCT Repairs "Underway". Atlas officials working on solution but not optimistic." And the reporter for that news report specifically outright says:

"...though the fail safes have supported wireless communication within the kingdom, the loss of the CCT Tower continues to prevent contact with the outside world. Talks with Atlas officials regarding repairs have so far—"

As for how Atlas got the news out about the Dust embargo faster than RNJR could travel: their messengers probably used actual transport vehicles, like the smaller Atlas airships that can actually reach high speeds. RNJR has only been walking, apparently occasionally stopping to hunt Grimm for villages in need, and likely only took a ship across the ocean.

Glynda working on repairing Beacon: The first news report Yang watched showed a picture of Glynda repairing things, while the reporter said "...with no end in sight. Try as they might, the Huntsmen and Huntresses can’t seem to get a hold of the situation at Beacon Academy."
