CNN International & Domestic

Don't know if anyone is already aware of this as I would guess that most UK viewers watch CNN International via Sky, cable or Freeview, but the DTH (direct-to-home) satellite transmission in Europe via analogue on Astra (19.2° East) of the channel is ending, as of March 31.

This channel now appearing on Virgin as free to view which I am sure it wasn't before. Nestled between Sky news and BBC Parliament

Is it the ubiquitous "full-stop" you've added? I.e. the .

Just In: Christiane Amanpour confirmed as leaving CNN; will anchor This Week on ABC

The official announcement will be in the next hour or two, but I've been told by a colleague at CNN that she's just confirmed it to members of her staff in New York and an email has been to the remainder of the CNN group.

Hmmm. CNN ain't CNN without Christiane.

I guess Amanpour. is cancelled.

EDIT: Here's an article about Amanpour leaving CNN for 'This Week' on The Daily Beast, written by Rebecca Dana:
