CNNNN: A profile of the world's most respected news channel

CNNNN is a news and current affairs channel owned and operated by ChaserCorp. It was founded by ChaserCorp CEO David Stewart in 1983 to counteract liberal bias in the media and remains the cornerstone of a television network that now contains over 40 different channels, spans 294 countries and reaches a potential cumulative audience of 100 billion people per week (source: Roy Morgan).

Simon Target (pron. Tar-Zhay) joined the Chaser Geographic Channel’s UK division in 1985 as a cheeky fledgling documentary maker. It wasn’t long before his trademark style of probing people about inappropriately private details caught on with audiences.

Dominic Knight has the distinction of being the world’s first weatherman to cross over to mainstream news reportage – and without losing the comical bent that made him so beloved of audiences in the first place. Guided by his motto, “A clown can turn a frown upside down,” Knight has made it his personal mission to bring a smile to the face of CNNNN’s millions of viewers – and it’s a mission he accomplishes everyday. 

Andrew Hansen

Before becoming the face of CNNNN Finance, Andrew Hansen was a small-time investor who copped the sharp end of the PHS Composite Index in 1991. As a result of this crippling blow, it became Hansen’s personal mission to understand finance – to understand the errors he’d made as an investor, and to help others avoid making the same mistakes. 

Charles Firth

For Charles Firth journalism is about telling other people’s stories. From innocent children in Rwanda being sold defective GI Joe dolls to the thousands of starving men and women of Los Angeles, Firth is fond of saying he’s “seen it all and covered it all”.
