With the launch of Piers Morgan Tonight, the new weekday talk show of Piers Morgan that starts on 18 January in South Africa on CNN International (DStv 401) and now with the confirmed time of 22:00 on the schedule it indeed means changes for CNN International's primetime line-up exactly as I've predicted.
I've heard back from CNN International that confirms that World One with Fionnuala Sweeney will disappear from its 22:00 timeslot on CNN International's schedule from 18 January. World One had its debut in September 2009, but CNN International has now decided to move the Piers Morgan talk show into the timeslot that World One has occupied for almost the past year and a half.
A new hour long World One broadcast at midnight (South African time) will debut at the end of the day on 17 January, which will be anchored by Zain Verjee and Monita Rajpal from London. Meanwhile World Sport and one of CNN International's regular feature shows will be moved to the new open 13:00 timeslot where Larry King Live used to be.
