In an emphatic endorsement of CNN's coverage of a remarkable news cycle in 2011, the latest Pan Asia Cross Media Survey (PAX) (2010 Q2 to 2011 Q1) shows that once again CNN has delivered a substantially larger audience than all other international news and business channels in the Asia Pacific region:

* CNN's weekly and monthly audience totals are 65% and 56% greater than the next placed channel

Excellent!!!
Awesome news... Wish they could do it in the US.. maybe they should simulcast shows to US domestic more often...say around the 9am-to5pm.. and sometime during Primetime.. would love to see Backstory or World Report even Prism on CNN Domestic
Well I've switched to Al Jazeera English a couple of weeks ago. I got tired of 2 days of reruns every weekend, constant reruns of World Sport and Backstory, Piers Morgan Tonight being aired 3 times a day, and the huge lack of news.. and repetitiveness even with CNN's vast resources. It's almost like giving CNN Newsroom a news network and sprinkling it with international news.
Unfortunately the same is not true of CNN in Africa. CNN International is carried by Multichoice on their DStv pay-TV service in South Africa and many parts of Africa.

It is disappointing to see that Aljazeera is included in 7 out of 8 of their available packages while CNN International is included in only 2 out of 8 of their available packages. CNN should structure licensing better to give Aljazeera a run for their money in that region.
