- Multi-platform show marks CNN’s first program out of new Doha bureau
DUBAI: CNN has announced the launch of a new show, “CNN Creators,” which will air on Thursdays on CNN International starting Oct. 23.
The 30-minute weekly program will be called “CNN Creators — The Intro” for the first few months. In early 2026, it will become a permanent series titled “CNN Creators.”
The multi-platform show, featuring content creators from various fields, will focus on artificial intelligence, technology, art, culture, sports, and social trends. Along with the TV show, it will also produce “extensive content” for CNN’s digital and social media platforms, the company said.
The team will be led by former VICE Senior Editorial Producer Andrew Potter and will include multilingual digital video producer and former BBC and France 24 reporter Ivana Scatola, photojournalist Ben Foley, and CNN producers and reporters Bijan Hosseini, Antoinette Radford, and Matias Grez.
“CNN Creators” is the first show to be anchored from CNN’s new studio in Doha’s Media City, which opened earlier this year.
The “digital-forward initiative” is “unlike any show we have ever launched,” said Meara Erdozain, senior vice president, CNN International Programming.
It will “reflect how our younger audiences are engaging with stories and will deliver compelling, entertaining content in a multitude of ways,” focusing on “news-adjacent topics and stories that feel real, relevant, and relatable,” she added.
