CNNMoney expands internationally

CNNMoney announced Monday an international expansion that includes new shows and the addition of staff in London, Dubai, New Delhi and Hong Kong.

Coverage will focus on global markets and the economy, business strategy, corporate leadership, global brands, business travel, lifestyle and luxury, as well as industries such as auto, energy and technology.

“By uniting our portfolio of U.S. and international business reporting under the CNNMoney brand, we now offer an even more compelling product to globally-minded consumers hungry for a smart, accessible business and financial news experience – everywhere in the world,” said Mike McCarthy, senior vice president and general manager of CNN International, in a statement.

The venture will tap Richard Quest, Nina dos Santos and Maggie Lake, whose programs will represent CNNMoney on television.

“CNNMoney View” with dos Santos will air at 6 a.m. ET from London, “CNNMoney with Maggie Lake” will air at 9 a.m. ET and “Quest Means Business,” anchored by Richard Quest, will air from New York at 4 p.m. ET.

In addition, Quest will now serve as editor-at-large for CNNMoney and he will pen a global daily newsletter “CNNMoney Presents: Quest Means Business,” timed to the open of the Asia markets.

Also joining the CNNMoney roster are John Defterios, emerging markets editor based in Abu Dhabi; Andrew Stevens, Asia Pacific editor based in Hong Kong; Eleni Giokos, Africa business correspondent based in Johannesburg; and Samuel Burke, CNNMoney business correspondent based in New York.

The multi-platform editorial teams will be led by Penny Manis, director of global business news programming based in New York, and Mark Thompson, international managing editor of CNNMoney who is based in London.
