Been watching some more of CNNI this evening. Some nice touches, like they always do, to celebrate the new year. Throughout the day there have been recorded messages from memebers of CNN staff in Atlanta, London and Hong Kong (providing some interesting shots of the three respective newsrooms - including the first shots of the Atlanta newsroom since the new set).

Also, at the end of World News at 1926 gmt, after the messages above, the programme ended with a familiar shot of the Atlanta control room, but Jim Clancy live in Atlanta re-appeared in audio, ordering the control room staff to turn around and wave at the camera, which they duly did.

"Without them, we wouldn't have any audio" said Jim. Although I'm quite sure they actually do more than just audio! ;-)
