CNN’s good news from Abu Dhabi


28-10-2009


Next week, on Tuesday November 3, CNN make its Abu Dhabi broadcast debut, with its ‘Prism’ daily show.

Prism is the very first scheduled daily newscast out of the Middle East, and will be anchored by Stan Grant, promoted into the position back in January.


Stan Grant returns to CNN after spending two years in his native Australia and takes up the new post of UAE-based correspondent. He will serve to cover both the UAE and the surrounding region from his base in CNN's new Abu Dhabi newsgathering and production centre. Previously, Grant served as a Hong Kong-based anchor for CNN International and later as the network's Beijing-based correspondent, where he gained recognition for his exclusive coverage of the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the South Asian tsunami.


Prism also makes the opening of its brand new Abu Dhabi regional hub, part of the equally sparkling new ‘two-four-54’ media campus.
