CNN International - Regional and Online Versions

Regional and Online Versions

There are six variants of CNN International:

• CNN International Europe/Middle East/Africa, based in London, England, United Kingdom
• CNN International Middle East, based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
• CNN International Asia Pacific based in Hong Kong SAR, China
• CNN International South Asia based in Hong Kong SAR, China
• CNN International in Latin America based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
• CNN International North America based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The schedules of the different regional versions no longer differ significantly from each other, but there are still minor variations such as weather updates and show's times – notably when only the EMEA feed receives CNNUS simulcasts and the remaining feeds receive CNN International programming. CNN has reported that their broadcast agreement in mainland China includes an arrangement that their signal must pass through a Chinese-controlled satellite. In this way, Chinese authorities have been able to black out CNNI segments at will. CNN has also said that their broadcasts are not widely available in mainland China, but rather only in certain diplomatic compounds, hotels, and apartment blocks.

CNN International can now be watched free of charge at CNN.com on a part-time basis. During the breaks, headlines, market data and weather are shown.
