Hi Lynn,

I live as an expat in the Middle East now, so I am not sure what the current TV news selection in SA looks like. Before I left, we only had vanilla CNN to goggle at... so financial news was brief, to say the least.

Out here, we get various satellite channels. The "best" for financial and market news on offer are CNBC and Bloomberg. Unfortunately they belong to different providers and I only get to see CNBC.

Even then, it is a bit painful. With Daylight Savings Time at the moment, they interrupt CNBC half an hour into the US trading day for about two hours of CNBC's Asia service and then later for about two hours for the European wrap. Provides a global perspective I suppose.

When were you (are you) in Cairo and what did you think of it?
