GRAND FORMAT

GRAND FORMAT — The day the world had with Africa, in one programme. GA's main evening appointment: a daily 40-minute studio edition that brings together everything the channel's four live news programmes have covered since dawn, from Beijing, Johannesburg, Brussels and New York. No new reports: the presenter selects the stories that matter, connects them across regions, and puts them in perspective with correspondents down the line and experts on the Africa–World relationship. The live editions say what happened; GRAND FORMAT says what it means for Africans and what they can do with it — WORLD IN and AFRICA OUT, in one edition.

Segments — forty minutes, every evening

1. Story of the Day (≈ 10 min) — The lead. The one story that dominated the day for Africa, re-edited from the reports already filed and extended live with the correspondent who covered it. Sets the angle for the whole edition.

2. Cross-Axis Connections (≈ 10 min) — Two or three stories from different regions, brought together around a common thread — an actor, a resource, a decision, a trend. This is where GRAND FORMAT draws the threads between decisions that no single live edition can connect alone, and where WORLD IN and AFRICA OUT meet on screen.

3. The Marquee Interview (≈ 8 min) — Two guests, in the studio or remote, expert on the Africa–World relationship. One line of questioning: what does today change for Africans, and what can they do with it. The interview serves the day's stories, not the other way round.

4. Four Capitals Report (≈ 8 min) — Beijing, Johannesburg, Brussels, New York: a tight run through the rest of the day's reporting, region by region, in short form. Built from reports already filed, reordered around the angle that dominated.
