On Thursday, France 3's
Soir 3
turned 40 and there was an extended-length bulletin presented by Francis Letellier with Jean-Marie Cavada (inaugural presenter, now MEP), Christine Ockrent (presenter during the 90s, first 20h female presenter), Marie Drucker (presenter during the 00s when the programme had a studio audience, current France 2 presenter) and Patricia Loison (preceding Soir 3 presenter, currently on sabbatical in Japan). It was a well produced bulletin and was a good idea to get the former presenters to present with Francis and together look back at highlights as opposed to a general 'nostalgia'. Perfectly modern, the programme concludes with a 'family photo' with over 20 of the various 'titulaires' and 'remplaçants'. A must watch for anyone who follows the French TV news industry.
This was the promo for the special anniversary edition:
I don't suppose anyone has anything from CNBC Europe before the merger with European Business News (EBN) at the start of 1998?
The live European programming was produced by Financial Times Television, and I vaguely remember the final incarnation looking nicer than the in-house productions after the merger (example in the above video). Presenters included Tanya Beckett, Jamie Robertson and Becky Anderson.

I can't find any clips of pre-1998 CNBC Europe, but here's Becky Anderson anchoring at EBN in 1996:
