In these days of satellite TV, instant messaging and voice over IP we take it very much for granted that we live in a connected world. But just stop and think for a moment. Isn't it amazing? Here at CNN we slotted a new show into our schedule this week - World Business Today, anchored live out of our production centres in Hong Kong, London and New York. Andrew Stevens, Maggie Lake and I appear on the same screen at the same time to bring you and up to speed with the business stories that will impact your life.

It sounds a simple enough concept and the show itself is a great watch - but wait a minute. Think about it. Three people who see each other in person maybe once or twice a year, if they're lucky. Three colleagues thousands of miles and several time zones apart, working as a well-oiled team and appearing right there, live, on your screen, wherever you are in the world.

What does it take to make that happen? Well, you should see what goes on behind the scenes! Teams of journalists and technicians in four global locations (the show is vision mixed and directed from Atlanta) using innovative technology to collaborate, craft and broadcast a show that I'm very proud to be a part of. You should take a look sometime because as well as being a great watch, technically it really is amazing!

Hi Adrian,

Congrats on the new show. I will be looking forward to view as soon as I can. I hope you guys will have more business stories than you have had in the past as on Business International. You do a great job!

Thanks

I have a comment on your correspondent Campbell Brown. It was disgraceful & very un -professional the way she talked to Bay Buchannah on Fri. night Sept. 5. As long as you have her on the program I & as many of my friends will not watch. She is uninformed & has a irritating way of presenting the news.

I'm very enthusiacially watching World Business Today these days rather than Business International.
Here in Seoul, South Korea. Please remember someone like me want to have a specific business news like your program
Half-an hour show makes me time savings because it only broadcasts very short time for me right?
