Adrian: That is not, in fact, CNN-fn. It's the CNN International feed being carried on the CNN-fn channel.
Both the CNN channel and the CNN-fn channel carry the CNN International feed for an hour or two, late at night. I think CNN-fn carries it somewhat earlier than CNN. So, all those people you see with English (and, incidentally, Australian) accents are employees of CNN International. I believe they're based in London. Like you, I enjoy the SI usage.

I have to confess I have not heard yet a report using ifp. The temperatures are listed as °C/°F All anchors have a british accent but when talking about their location they refer to it as "here at the CNN center". I don't know if they are in Atlanta or there is another center in UK. In any case, the only "digestible" network on the air. Has anybody in the US noticed the same for their CNN-fn channel? If so maybe we should start writing "thank you" letters.
