CNN is launching a new primetime evening news show titled 'CNN NewsCenter', further expanding its live programming from Asia.Anchored out of Hong Kong by CNN anchor Monita Rajpal, the show will air everyday at 5 pm, starting 21 January.
The show is the latest addition to CNN's Hong Kong programming expansion, following the recent debut of 'CNN Newsroom, Live from Hong Kong', a two hour morning news show anchored by Andrew Stevens and Patricia Wu, as well as the launch of 'On China', a monthly show hosted by Kristie Lu Stout.
'CNN NewsCenter' airs at the crossroads of the international day: morning in North and South America, lunchtime in Europe, afternoon in the Middle East and Africa, and evening in the Asia Pacific region.
Providing viewers around the world with a 30 minute briefing on the biggest global headlines, the primetime news program airs between CNN's two shows 'Amanpour' and 'Piers Morgan Tonight'
