CNN International expands its TV-Facebook hybrid show, CNN Talk with Max Foster, to twice a week from Monday.


CNN International (DStv 401) is expanding its weekly CNN Talk on Fridays to a twice-weekly show from Monday, adding a Monday episode.

CNN Talk with Max Foster will now run on Mondays and Fridays.

CNN Talk will be broadcast at 13:00 (South African time) on Mondays and Fridays on CNN International.

CNN Talk is CNN International's first fully integrated TV and digital show that is simulcast on TV and on social media, incorporating real time viewer comments throughout the show and allowing the audience to drive the discussion.

CNN International says CNN Talk has been successful with CNN’s Facebook audience, often reaching over a million Facebook viewers, and with a predominantly young viewership - it's most watched in the 25 to 45 age bracket.

The addition of the CNN Talk Monday show will allow Max Foster and his regular panel of commentators to look ahead to the stories likely to dominate the week's news, with Friday's programme that will continue to focus on the hot topic news story.
