World Sport on CNN International relaunching later this month on the global news channel.


World Sport on CNN International (DStv 401), the news channel's flagship daily sport programme, will be relaunching later this month.

World Sport will be changing this month just as Christiane Amanpour returns to CNN International on 16 April with Amanpour at 22:00 and as Isha Sesay gets her own show from the same date of 16 April on the channel.

(Isha Sesay is already gone from BackStory she presented - perhaps on leave before she starts?)

The new World Sport will start ahead of the year's big sport events. ''Sport is a big part of our offering at CNN,'' says Bill Galvin, the senior vice president at CNN International. ''With Euro 2012 and the Olympics just around the corner it's a very exciting time, particularly for our London bureau.''

World Sport is on CNN International daily at 06:00, 09:00, 18:00 and 23:30 (all South African times).
