But this- really no use for the international audience.Not a big change then, a lot of CNN Primetime (the block not just the program) doesn't seem to have anything really suited to an international audience, versus when they had a robust Asia mornings line up. I'm sure many of the audience would now be used to going to AJE or BBC World if they wanted something more robust in those hours.
I gave up on CNN for morning telly shortly after YWT was launched. I don't recall watching that much of it since it never aired that much anyway! Switched to local TV as that was when the protests were happening in HK. Wasn't in English but better to have some vague understanding of the news rather than Erin Burnett or Wolf Blitzer with an umpteenth Trump controversy.
I have no problem with the Trump coverage- just that I would really have preferred if CNN offered CNN Domestic overseas too so CNNi can continue simulcast-free. Alas, that's clearly not happening in today's world.
AJE and BBC World are fine- though I dislike how the their news bulletins at that time are usually only half an hour. The full hour (or 45 minutes when World Sport aired too) of CNN Today was what made it a better choice for me. I never really got over them axing CNN Today to be honest. Was an unnecessary change. YWT should've been the European Midday news program replacing New Day imo.
