The CNC World Channel will initially broadcast programs in Chinese 24 hours a day, with plans to broadcast English language programs from July 2010 and other languages. It broadcasts in the Asia-Pacific region and some European countries, as part of its plans to "transform itself into a multi-media world news agency".^[2] The channel is aimed at a foreign audience, but will still be viewable from within mainland China.^[3]

The cost of the operation is around 45 billion yuan ($9.24 billion).^[4]
