Sir
Frost says: “This is a great adventure – the first and
perhaps the only brand-new international TV news network for the
21st Century. Most of the television I have done over the years
has been aimed at British and American audiences. This time, while
our target is still Britain and America, the excitement is that
it is also the 6 billion other inhabitants of the globe. As someone
said, a new show for a new channel for the new century.”
