The Ten would not work on World as it has to much of a UK bias. They often lead on stories which do not rate even an OOV on World as the story is purley of interest to domestic viewers. The 10 programme is one of those taken by WLIW in America and is thus on of the important american programmes on World.


Anderson Cooper airs on CNNi for an hour each weeknight.

An update on BBC World (News) in the USA. Looks like BBC World will finally be on TV. Cable service provider Cablevision(which serves the New York City Metro area) in the US will pick it up starting on Apr. 29. BBC World (News) will replace Euronews on the cable service. This would bring the number of US providers carring the channel to: 1

I have read this from a posting on satelliteguys.us. The annoncement should be offical in a week. I'll confirm it when i get a notice on my bill. (Yay, cable bills!)

Haven't saw the channel in week (due to a webstream being broken) but can't wait to watch the disjointed channel again!


Would make it number two. The service is already available to three thousand subscribers in Texas Shocked


Thats good news archive tv.

The music of the News 24 countdown is so much better, why didnt World go with that when they made their own sequence?

And he is 100% correct in his anaylsis too!


I agree 100%. The channel's branding and graphics are a great dissapointment when compared now to CNN. You have to ask yourself why the panel is asking viewers to submit feedback about CNN's new look.

The current BBC World Panel questionnaire asks members for their opinions on CNN International's new graphics, and whether any opinions of CNNI's new presentation package would be desirable on BBC World. Interesting...


I agree...its certainly interesting to see a questionnaire asking what viewers think of CNN's new look. Seems like World is not very confidant about its own branding. My verdict - get lambie-nairn to create something unique. Their work is always first class.

I thought airing Have Your Say with Nisha was a good idea with the two guests in the studio. Certainly makes the channel look more interactive!

CNN International Gets Makeover


By Anne Becker -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/31/2006 12:41:00 PM

CNN International is revamping its on-air look Feb. 5, ditching its ticker, changing its fonts and bumping its logo to the top of the screen to make its appearance less cluttered, the network says.

The redesign, the network’s biggest in more than five years, includes a new logo, news graphics, title sequences, network IDs, on-air promotions and music.

“The uncluttered screen and enhanced concise graphics will now allow our video and journalism to breathe fully,” said CNN International Senior VP Rena Golden.

The changes, which go into effect at 6 p.m. ET on the 5th, are being made to help viewers navigate through the network’s programming. Headline fonts will be changed to block lettering, which the network says is easier to read, covers less of the screen and is more understandable to viewers whose primary language is not English. Fonts will be color-coded: Breaking news alerts will be black font on a yellow background, news is black and white, business is blue, and sports will be green.


To keep viewers focused on the on-screen story, the network’s scrolling news ticker will be replaced by a rotating news “flipper,” which will display one complete sentence or story at a time. Navigational graphics will tell viewers which programs are coming next and in the hours ahead. The network’s logo, the “CNN” graphic next to a globe, has been moved from the bottom right part of the screen to the top left. Its globe has been updated from a full sphere to a quarter sphere shadow within a box. The word “live” will appear over the shadowed globe for live stories.

CNN International, launched in 1996, reaches 186 million households worldwide but just 4 million in the U.S. It plans to introduce new sets in Atlanta, London and Hong Kong later this year.


I wonder who is responsible for the new look?
