CNN's Ali Velshi on the 'Best Gig Going'

Ali Velshi, the chief business correspondent for CNN, talked with Alex Weprin of TVNewser about his new show that covers business internationally.
 
Weprin writes, “‘For a business journalist in 2012, I have about the best gig going,’ Velshi told TVNewser. ‘I will be doing stuff for a global audience every morning, which is their primetime. The show is 7 PM in India, 10 PM in Hong Kong, 11 PM in Tokyo, those audiences are very financially sophisticated.’
 
“It also means that he can wake up at a more reasonable hour, although he will be spread out more across the many CNN platforms.
 
”I had my first full night of rest [last Monday], it has been a long time on the mornings,’ he added. ‘I will be doing business like I used to for primetime, reporting and providing commentary and analysis from probably 4PM onward. It is going to be a long and weird schedule, but it sort of fits what I have been doing recently on different platforms.’”
