Good to see Cyril Vanier anchoring from the UK today for the G7 summit. Been a while since I last saw him on air.
First time I’ve seen Cyril anchoring in quite a while. Presumably we’ll get a bit more CNNI produced output this weekend rather than Domestic doing the heavy lifting like normal (and a few less Inside Africa airings). CNNI seem to have lots of their UK team out there covering the G7.
I like the addition of the ticker - it’s much nicer than the flipper. That said it is quite fast compared to other channels so could be slowed down a tad. As others have said it’s probably more needed during recorded shows and Domestic simulcasts.

I finally manage to access my TV Live Forum account. :lol:
Regarding the ticker, it feels like CNN US and CNN International are doing a reciprocal thing, because CNN US doesn't show their ticker during CNNI simulcasts as well.
It just annoys me that, like CNN US, the CNNI ticker also have that "LIVE" on-screen graphic permanently.
The CNNI ticker (and the red logo) has just popped up midway through Inside Politics Sunday at 40 past the hour. Quite random but very useful!
EDIT: Looks like it pops up intermittently.
Back now for CNNI and Hala Gorani breaking into SOTU for Boris Johnson's speech from the G7.
Normally, I would have been interested in the new show featuring Stanley Tucci. I like the actor, I like the country and I love the food!
However, the same promo being played about six times an hour for the last month has irritated me to the point that I have completely lost interest.
It doesn’t even start for another week but we have been seeing the same promo for about two months. I can actually quote most of it word for word!
So, nah… Won’t be watching.
On a similar note, Anderson Cooper’s conversation with President Obama is being billed as the interview everyone is talking about. Who is everyone?! I doubt most people know it’s on!
Rant over. I feel better!
Best wishes to her, for her treatment going forwards.
I’m wishing her the very best for her treatment also.
Wish her all the best with her treatment, glad they caught it early .

I just heard this now as well. I'm glad to hear that it was caught early & she is getting treatment. I wish her well in the chemotherapy in it being a success.
