CNBC Africa (DStv 410) has quietly dropped The NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams furthering weaking its late night line-up.
The South African business channel mired in controversy regarding parastatal sponsorship agreements it didn't declare upfront, has done away with the nightly half hour American news show. A while ago CNBC Africa also did away with syndicated The McLaughlin Group half hour.
What has happened is that CNBC Africa is largely dependend on the CNBC Europe feed. CNBC Europe has nixed The NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams because of too much content within the news bulletin that was with increasing regularity not sourced by NBC News directly and which CNBC Europe then had to literally black out too often. CNBC Europe decided to discard The Nightly News and left CNBC Africa with no alternative but to also do away with, and replace the half hour.
