CNNj is a Japanese version of CNN distributed by Japan Cable Television. CNNj is tailored specifically for a Japanese audience, with all programming broadcast from 7.00 to 0.00 local time (0.00 to 17.00 EET) being translated into Japanese.[1] The channel used to broadcast a mixture of CNN International and CNN/US, but since 2008, CNNj has been a direct relay of CNN International Asia Pacific.

Starting late 2010, the high definition feed of CNN US was launched in Japan for American viewers under the name "CNN/US HD".
