What I want to know is why do the CNN world presenters almost all speak with British accents? Trying to be more like BBC to raise their prestige?
Which English-speak media is more influential, CNN or BBC?

Its all about the time of day. If you are tuning into CNN at a time when its midnight in America, they show live news from their London studio, where its all British accents (I am not sure about this though).
I hear mainly American accents on CNN, with the occasional British correspondent reporting on certain topics.
<Nevertheless, don't most commonwealth nations have their own BBC? >
Well during the early days of television - there were programmes straight from the UK to the television of the commonwealth population.
They later moved onto specialising viewing material for a particular country but the main operations remained in London.
Soon commonwealth governments estiblished their own version of the BBC - eg. ABC (Australia), CBC (Canada), SABC (South Africa), NZBC (New Zealand). Due to them being estiblished - the BBC phased out commonwealth boardcasting.
Now BBC is once again moving into the international market - not only in it's former markets but also into other regions in their own language.
mmm I think I typed alot of crap...
