HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — China will begin broadcasting a new English-language 24-hour television news service throughout Asia this week and make it available around the world next month, marking the global television debut for the state-backed Xinhua news agency, according to reports. The “CNC World” news channel — a rough abbreviation of “China Xinhua News Network Corp.” — was unveiled at a press conference in Beijing late Thursday. Xinhua is seeking to finalize agreements that will enable it broadcast over cable channels in Western countries, including the U.S. and U.K. by October, according to a Financial Times report. Eventually Xinhua also plans to broadcast via cellphone and the Internet, reports said.
