CBC Newsworld

CBC Newsworld is a 24-hour cable television news channel operated by the CBC. It is available to cable subscribers across the country and broadcasts into over 10 million homes nation-wide, as well as into some northern states in the U.S. It is the world's third-oldest television service of this nature, after CNN in the United States and Sky News in the United Kingdom.

Newsworld International

Some of CBC Newsworld's programming also aired on the now-defunct Newsworld International, a US owned and operated cable news network. However, CBC Newsworld also produced some programming for Newsworld International, and scheduled programming from other news networks, which did not air on the Canadian channel. Newsworld International was originally owned and operated by the CBC. Newsworld International was sold to Vivendi Universal in 2000, and sold again to Al Gore and Joel Hyatt in 2004. Newsworld continued to provide the network's programming until Gore and Hyatt launched their own network, Current TV, on August 1, 2005.
