CNN International today announced the launch of a new 30 minute travel programme, ‘In 24 Hours’ which will descend on a vibrant city each month to experience a perfect day’s down time.
From morning until after hours, host James Williams will bring viewers unique and exclusive experiences from one of the world’s greatest cities. CNN’s audience will get a personal tour of each location, finding out what a city has to offer beyond the pages of travel guides.
Each show spans an experience in the morning, afternoon and evening, as well as a celebrity’s take on the city.
The iconic and sophisticated city of New York will be featured first in the programme, and will include:
- Renowned chef Anthony Bourdain reveals his New York secrets and favourite hotspots.
