Before I get into the merits of what I am about to deep dive into and delve into, let me say that I am a global traveller and love Hollywood movies. I would like to see both my kids study in Ivy League universities in America. I am fascinated by America, its culture and its stock markets, the culture of innovation that solves problems and creates huge companies and entrepreneurs. I even share my birthday with a two-time American President, Lyndon B. Johnson. I can go on about my love for America and everything American. I admire CNN and love the way the new content and packaging of content – both news and branded content.
Respect CNN and BBC
I have CNN International as my default channel and I watch CNN for two to four hours every day and more like six hours on Sunday. I never miss two shows on CNN International every Sunday, GPS by Fareed Zakaria and Reliable Sources by Brian Stelter. If I miss these shows because of some very important development, the shows are recorded and I watch them later. I have recommended both shows to a humongous number of people, both in media and business. The count would definitely be more than 1,000.
Like a lot of Indians who had interest in world politics and world media, I grew up watching CNN post the Iraq war and news stalwarts like Riz Khan were the anchors I grew up watching. Almost 12 years back I even got Riz Khan to come and speak at my exchange4media news broadcast conference which is titled News Next. I know almost every major anchor and news presenter and reporter on CNN. I am a CNN aficionado and am glued to CNN mostly every day.
