ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN.</s>FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: And it's Sunday, October 3, 1993. Welcome to our premiere broadcast of "LATE EDITION."</s>SESNO: Well, we distinguished ourselves from other Sunday shows by being -- trying to be the last word in Sunday talk, as we put it.</s>RICK DAVIS, ORIGINAL EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: The key for "LATE EDITION" was we were up against three institutions.</s>SESNO: The idea of having a show at noon after the other networks had presented their programs was to be able to hear not only from the guests who were in our studio, but from those very important people who were out talking to other networks, and thereby be able to respond to some of the things they said as well.</s>WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: This is "LATE EDITION," the last word in Sunday talk.</s>SAM FEIST, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: One of the things that's unique about "LATE EDITION" is that we don't hesitate to take the program on the road.</s>BLITZER: We're the only show ever to have done a live telecast from Botswana.</s>BLITZER: Here in Gaborone, Botswana...</s>BLITZER: From Beijing, China, this is "LATE EDITION."</s>BLITZER: Live from Moscow...</s>BLITZER: Live from Jerusalem...</s>BLITZER: "LATE EDITION" live from Cologne, Germany...</s>BLITZER: I really feel that we try to do the show not only from a Washington perspective, but from an international, global perspective. So I'm really proud of it.</s>SESNO: Wolf's arrival has taken the show to a new generation and a new level.</s>BLITZER: For now, thanks very much for watching. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm Wolf Blitzer in Washington.
