CNN to air new monthly show ‘Revealed’
MUMBAI: News channel CNN has expanded its programme line up with a new half hour monthly show Revealed This presents an intimate portrayal of those most admired in the worlds of business, the arts, science and sport commencing this April.
Each month the show follows a different high profile individual’s every step in the run-up to a crucial event in their professional lives, travelling with them and gaining exclusive behind-the-scenes access. The first episode features British fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood.
The public personas of high profile personalities are often familiar due to press coverage and TV appearances and although these people are well known, they can also be elusive. The show provides an insight into their lifestyles, passions and inspirations; workspace and motivations.
Westwood allows the show to spend time with her during the run-up to Paris Fashion Week meeting the people who have shaped her life and venturing into the future, looking at where her work is taking her. The show airs on 15 April at 5 pm, 16 April at 1 pm, 7 pm and on 17 April at 7 pm
Westwood says, “On the one hand, I’m called avant garde, and on the other hand I know that ideas come from tradition, they come from the technique of tradition, and they come from looking at wonderful things that people did in the past. My opinions are formed from brilliant thinkers. ”
CNN International senior VP Rena Golden said, “We are delighted to maintain CNN’s tradition of quality programming and expand our feature program line up with Revealed, a show that continues to demonstrate our access to high profile names. Revealed moves away from its traditional presenter-led format and is filmed as a ‘fly on the wall’ documentary, a new style for CNN.”

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
