Your World Today is a daily international news-magazine television series that airs on CNN International, a sister channel to CNN — both being cable-news channels. The show serves as a morning breakfast show for viewers in the Asia-Pacific region.
Production and format
Your World Today initially aired for up to four hours per day. It aired every day between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m Eastern Time. However, following the creation of programmes such as The Brief, Prism and International Desk, the weekday edition was reduced to sixty minutes, while the weekend edition aired for thirty minutes. An additional edition of the program aired on Saturdays from 12:00 p.m., for thirty minutes.
Based at CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, the program featured reports worldwide by CNN correspondents and affiliates.
It included regular business updates from New York City and London, sports and weather updates as well as covering all the live and breaking news.
In 2019, CNNI relaunched the show with anchors Isa Soares and Cyril Vanier. The program is now based in the network's London bureau. It airs from 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m BST with cut-ins for World Sport and is aimed as a morning news program for viewers in the Asia-Pacific region.[1]
