CNN International & Domestic

I quite like the idea of it being 'with Chris and Kate' - helps Americans used to the Anderson Coopers, Brian Williams and Matt Lauers familiarise themselves with the hosts and identify with them, without it seeming as formal as Today or GMA.

But the logo is not only messy (for something remarkably simple) but I don't think is warm or welcoming at all. That said, Morning Joe has just added blue to a fair bit of its onscreen branding, and I'm not a fan. Brown + blue, again, isn't warm and welcoming.

This channel really needs to be in HD now, just not liking this hybrid format they've given us.

I wish it would be widescreen like BBC WN and AJE.

The red square reminds me of the 2006-era CNNI...

Reminds me of BBC News.

Not CNN International, but CNN and Headline News

When parent news channels and their subsidiaries cover the same news story, from the same location, occasionally strange things happen.

Jeff Zucker unveiled the new HD control room in London yesterday.

So I guess CNN HD isn't too far off?

They've still not said which countries/territories will be getting it first but I'm sure we can assume the UK is pretty high up the list!

So we are at the end of May and CNN International is still not Widescreen for its News programmes. It was supposed to happen this month wasn't it?

3rd June, perhaps?

hmm... Atlanta & London studios may already be available in HD, but how about Hong Kong?

Bloody hell! Fionualla Sweeney on the iDesk!!!!!!

There is a God after all.

Edit: Ivan Watson LIVE in Istanbul throws back to Fionualla in Atlanta. He is seriously choking on air due to tear gas in the city. Twice he's had to abandon his live link.
