Previous incarnations
CNN International's main newscast brand for much of the 1990s and 2000s was simply World News. The majority of bulletins were presented from CNN Center in Atlanta, although some editions came from Washington, D.C. (branded as World News from Washington). From the late 1990s onwards, there was also World News Europe, which was presented from London and ran during European primetime, and Asia Tonight which was broadcast from Hong Kong (the latter was later rebranded as World News Asia, to match the other broadcasts).
World Report (2009–2013)
On September 21, 2009, CNN Today, Your World Today and World News were rebranded as World Report; the network's long-running week-in-review programme, CNN World Report (which traditionally aired on Sunday afternoons on the American network) took a new name, World View, to make way for the new branding. Initially, World Report ran multiple times per day; however, as CNN International's schedule evolved, this gradually reduced to two separate three-hour morning blocks for Asian and European audiences, as well as regular bulletins at weekends.
The Asian morning edition of World Report was rebranded as CNN Newsroom in November 2012, to coincide with the revamp of CNN's Hong Kong studio, and the introduction of a new anchor team in Andrew Stevens and Patricia Wu.
Asian edition anchor Anna Coren received the 2011 Asian Television Award for "Best News Presenter or Anchor" for her work on the programme. [1]
