MUMBAI: CNN is launching a new primetime evening news show titled ?CNN NewsCenter?, further expanding its live programming from Asia.

Anchored out of Hong Kong by CNN anchor Monita Rajpal, the show will air everyday at 5 pm, starting 21 January.

The show is the latest addition to CNN?s Hong Kong programming expansion, following the recent debut of ?CNN Newsroom, Live from Hong Kong?, a two hour morning news show anchored by Andrew Stevens and Patricia Wu, as well as the launch of ?On China?, a monthly show hosted by Kristie Lu Stout.

?CNN NewsCenter? airs at the crossroads of the international day: morning in North and South America, lunchtime in Europe, afternoon in the Middle East and Africa, and evening in the Asia Pacific region.

Providing viewers around the world with a 30 minute briefing on the biggest global headlines, the primetime news program airs between CNN?s two shows ?Amanpour? and ?Piers Morgan Tonight?.
