Looking through old posts, I realise I first posted in this thread on 20th January 2009 after Obama's first inauguration and have been around these parts for his re-election, Trump's first and now Biden's. How time flies - thanks all for the conversation!

I think Wolf's oft-used rememberance wishes are appropriate. When the time comes next week - may this thread rest in peace, and it's memories be a blessing.

Here, Here! One of the best 'super threads' to stand the test of time.


I genuinely think the CNN International 2006 look that kicked off this thread was one of the best TV news packages of all time (and probably my favourite from the lifetime of TV Forum). Slick and understated but still unique and very CNN. It also inspired so much stuff that is still on screen.

All the best everyone hope to see you on one of the new forums in the near future!

CNN International & Domestic

OK, so we agree: CNNI was different years ago, has changed to more domestic, but it's not a mere copy of CNN domestic.


No one's disagreeing with you that CNN has changed. I think the debating point is whether we prefer CNN's international or domestic content. It's an interesting debate, and one CNN is grappling with at the moment. No easy answer, especially with financial pressures as the world pivots away from cable and broadcast TV and into streaming.

Personally, I think CNNI is at its best when it's covering a mixture of international stories, including US politics. I find CNN most frustrating when it focuses on US politics around the clock. At the moment I'm finding myself watching an hour or so of CNNI Newsroom, QMB when it's on and changing to BBC World News for any other world news I feel I need.

I used to get most of my world news from CNN and I didn't mind an hour or so of domestic sandwiched between international shows. But it's not really an international network when you find that the international shows are sandwiched between the US shows!
