Now that Adrian Finighan has left CNN, it appears that Max Foster is the new stand-in for Richard Quest on QMB. It's just not the same.........................................Max has an entirely different style from both Quest and Finighan.

Adrian was presenting Wednesday night so I think he will still do it when he can around his other commitments (he was in Rome Thursday/Friday according to his twitter)

Seems like CNN changed World Report music, I'm yet to hear it but it's obvious they got a negative feedback from the viewers.
To me the original music is not that bad to be used for breaks and returning for them but it's too bland for the opening title.

Wow, I love the new theme, so powerful and catchy unlike that terrible first version they used for a month. Here's a video by Morpium.

With CNN's new production facility in Abu Dhabi launching in a few days, here's a quick look back at a time when the channel's Hong Kong studios were still new.

ginnyfan, has Alessio Vinci left CNNI? The reason I ask is that there were two big stories out of Italy this week and they were covered from behind the desk in London by Atika Shubert, as opposed to having Alessio on the scene. One of the stories is the Meredith Kercher murder trial which is a fairly big story on all other outlets with correspondents in place.
