Line 66: '''Station history''' Monocle 24 launched on 17 October 2011 with four live shows on weekdays: ''The Globalist'', ''The Briefing'', ''Midori House'' and ''The Monocle Daily'', as well as several extra shows over the weekend. Surrounding those shows were music hours known as ''The Continental Shift'' and ''The Atlantic Shift'', as well as hour-long themed shows ''Culture with Robert Bound'', ''Section D'', ''The Entrepreneurs'', ''The Urbanist'' and ''The Menu''. The station was branded by bespoke music [[Station identification\|idents]], including a number featuring the voice of pop star [[Kylie Minogue]] and the Quiet Nights Orchestra. The running time of ''The Briefing'', ''Midori House'', ''Culture'', ''Section D'', ''The Entrepreneurs'', ''The Urbanist'' and ''The Menu'' was cut from 50 to 30 minutes starting on 2 March 2015. At the same time, new ~~programmes~~programs, such as ''The Big Interview'' and ''The Monocle Arts Review'' were added to the schedule. Top-of-the-hour newscasts were also removed from the schedule. The station is influenced by the [[BBC World Service]]. Tyler Brûlé said "From the point of view its ambitions for global reach and coverage of world affairs, Monocle 24 will probably resemble and sound like many commonwealth public service broadcasters, including BBC World Service, as well as shades of Australia's [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation\|ABC]] and Canada’s [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation\|CBC]]. We are hoping to create a station which follows the tradition of the great Commonwealth broadcasters. It’s no surprise that we have drawn a lot of great people from the BBC World Service." Line 74: Saturday and Sunday feature the Weekend Edition, a mix of news, interviews, music and highlights. Portions of Monocle 24 ~~programmes~~programs were previously broadcast on [[ABC Radio National]] in Australia. Other Monocle 24 output is also broadcast by [[CBC Radio One]] in Canada as part of ''[[CBC Radio Overnight]]''. Monocle 24 also broadcasts from political, business and cultural events.
