CNC World (simplified Chinese: 中国新华新闻电视网英语电视台; traditional Chinese: 中國新華新聞電視網英語電視台; pinyin: Zhōngguó Xīnhuá Xīnwén Diànshì Wǎng Yīngyǔ Diànshìtái) is a 24 hour global English-language news channel, launched on July 1, 2010. It is 51% owned by the China Xinhua News Network Corporation, and 49% by private investors, including Chinese home appliances maker Gree.[1]
CNC World's mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of world affairs while explaining matters of direct concern to the Chinese leadership in a perspective its producers consider appropriate.[2]
The venture is part of Beijing's effort to "present an international vision with a Chinese perspective," Xinhua President Li Congjun said at the press conference announcing the launch of CNC World.[2]
Xinhua intends to build a newsroom in New York on top of a skyscraper in Times Square to provide CNC World with prominent exposure in the United States.[2]
Its rivals include CCTV News and New Tang Dynasty Television.
On December 16, 2010 CNC World agreed a deal with Eutelsat on for coverage on Eurobird 1, Eutelsat W7 and Hot Bird 8 from January 1, 2011.[3] CNC World launched on the Sky satellite television platform in the United Kingdom and Ireland on July 21, 2011 from Eurobird 1.
