You're reading it here first.
I can reveal first that CNBC Africa (DStv 410) has removed the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams immediately from the schedule for the next two weeks. And I can also tell you why.
Why? Well of course NBC in America has the broadcasting rights for the Winter Olympic Games from Vancouver, Canada and the nightly American news bulletin is filled with footage from the event. Of course CNBC Europe and CNBC Africa don't have the broadcasting rights to the games and therefore can't show the news bulletin - portions would not be allowed, and therefore they're rather ditching the whole half hour.
I watch the bulletin daily - as I do with all three major American TV news bulletins, but I download it as a podcast, for free. You can get it too, RIGHT HERE.
