CCTV Brings 'The Heat'

China Central Television (CCTV) has announced that they are making a push to put 3.5 hours of news programming on America’s prime-time airwaves every day. The state broadcaster’s American division, CCTV-America, will be offering a new batch of programming starting in April. The center-piece of the effort is a re-vamped half-hour news program called “The Heat”  -their tagline is “Generating heat and light in Washington” -which will debut Monday, April 7 at 9:15 PM.

“The Heat” was originally a weekly show, hosted by former CNN International and Al-Jazeera anchor Anand Naidoo, which aired Saturdays at 8:30 PM and featured in-depth interviews with news-makers.
