The cyano radical (CN) is a key molecule across many different factions of astronomy and chemistry. Accurate, empirical rovibronic energy levels with uncertainties are determined for 8 doublet states of CN using the \Marvel{} (Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels) algorithm. \notrans{} transitions were validated from \nosources{} different published sources to generate \noenergy{} spin-rovibronic energy levels. The empirical energy levels obtained from the \Marvel{} analysis are compared to current energy levels from the \Mollist{} line list. The \Mollist{} transition frequencies are updated with \Marvel{} energy level data which brings the frequencies obtained through experimental data up to \alert{77.3\%} from the original 11.3\%, with 92.6\% of the transitions with intensities over 10$^{-23}$ cm/molecule at 1000 K now known from experimental data. At 2000 K, 100.0\% of the partition function is recovered using only \Marvel{} energy levels, while 98.2\% is still recovered at 5000 K.
