CNN

[ATLerinHK]

CNNI do seem to have a lot of talent without a permanent home, so it’s hard to justify keeping additional spare anchors. Max Foster still doesn’t have an official show and I can’t remember when I last saw Robyn Curnow on air. Paula Newton seems to be filling in more, with Lynda Kinkade rarely seen. Larry Madowo and Eleni Giokis paired well during their coverage on the Dubai Expo. And of course Kristie Lu Stout and Ana Coren occasionally fill the anchor seat when they remember Hong Kong exists.

Who knows if Warner Bros Discovery will be keen on expanding any CNNI output. Hopefully we’ll see some improvements, I just don’t know if we should expect anything.

I remain cautious, but I hope Warner Bros Discovery will bring more Asia programming, particularly out of Hong Kong. There is a studio there that's not being used and great talent, it makes no sense to just axe all programming from their Asia hub.
