CNN is to launch a version of CNN Money in Switzerland this year. It will be broadcast in English and come from studios in Zurich. It will be carried on cable, IPTV and "free-to-air operators", according to reports, so I assume it might appear on Zattoo Switzerland, for example.

A bit random. Why Switzerland? There are lots of bigger markets in Europe such as Germany with a higher number of proficient English speakers.

I do hope eventually they begin an international CNN Money news channel.


CNN allows other broadcasters to license the CNN brand for their own use, sometimes with or without a small financial investment from CNN. There are many countries where this already happens: Indonesia, Philippines, Chile, India, and a few others. Historically, they've been mostly separate editorial operations and contribute very little content to CNN Domestic, International, and .com. If there's a breaking story in those places, they'll probably use their video at first, but CNNI will then send their correspondents to cover it from there. Notice how neither the English nor French press releases say anything about CNN Money Switzerland being a part of CNNI's business shows or using CNNI's lifestyle content.

CNN en Espanol and CNN Mexico are 100% CNN owned and operated, but the rest are almost entirely independent.

CNN Turk is probably the most well known of the independently operated CNN franchises after the failed coup in Turkey.

Do we have any CNN insiders here? I've got a huge bee in my bonnet about the over use of Wolf Blitzer. They wheel him out for the smallest of Breaking News stories and he ends up throwing other more worthy anchors and their shows off air. It's become the Wolf News Network and it's becoming unwatchable. People don't want to see the same face for hour after hour. Would this happen to be a contractual thing? There is no other network that utilizes one anchor as much as CNN do with Blitzer. The man needs to move on and allow the other incredible talent at CNN to flourish. He's already got 3 hours each day and that still isn't enough. He cut into Carol Costello's show on Tuesday morning at 9.45 and stayed on air thru to the end of Wolf, covering a few things Trump was doing. Ridiculous.

Rant over.

It might be contractual, after all, Fox News use Shepard Smith in exactly the same way, as well as having a 1 hour show every weekday.

Yes, Wolf has his self titled programme, which is carried internationally too, plus The Situation Room, which I feel lost something when it moved out of its original set. I get the feeling the international requirement might be contractual too. CNN Washington has always provided an hour of programming every weekday on CNNI for as long as I can remember, going back to the days of World News with Reid Collins at 11am ET and 2.30pm ET.

Give me the incomparable BENARD SHAW any day all day. He was the lead anchor for all CNN major coverage.

Can't disagree at all, the very definition of cool under fire and under pressure.

Some changes to the CNN International schedule from today.

Quest Express replaces iDesk at 5pm GMT, and is in addition to his flagship show Quest Means Business. It's a half hour programme with Richard Quest live from the floor of the NYSE. It's also totally unscripted without a prompter!

Maggie Lake has also transferred from the studio in NYC to a new location: CNN's studio in the NYSE.

No-one has told Sky which has the old schedule on the EPG.

NYSE is a nice background for a broadcast. Both Maggie & Quest are one of my favorite CNN people so this is a good addition.
