CNN International

CNN International (CNNI) is CNNs international English language television network that carries news, current affairs, politics, sports, opinions, features and business programming worldwide. CNN is one of the world's largest news organizations. It is owned by Time Warner.

CNN International is available in most countries, distributed via satellite, cable, IPTV and DTT. Its international reach is more than 200 million households and hotel rooms in over 200 countries. For most viewers it is free-to-air, though some pay TV companies include it in their pay TV packages, or issue a virtual channel to the FTA version on the same satellite. Starting late 2010, the domestic version CNN/U.S., is available in high definition to viewers in Japan under the name CNN HD. If this is a one-off case or the beginning of an international roll-out of CNN HD with more countries to come is unclear at present.

The current managing director of CNN International is Tony Maddox.^{[citation needed]}
