Boris signed off this morning. In his goodbye he mentioned that CNN News Central will launch next month. Nothing new, but good reassurance that they’re still on for an April launch.

But for some reason, the broadcast seems to be coming from CNN US, which is why they use the white CNN on-screen graphic.
What makes you think that the splitscreen was that of CNNI Newsroom?
This looks to me pretty much like the usual CNN Tonight splitscreen.
Indeed, this is a split screen from a regular CNN Tonight.
Is it possible slightly different proportions of screens (almost uncatchable to my eye) that caught your attention?

If I recall correctly, SOTU is at 9am which leaves a gap between 10 and 11? I guess this matches with Saturday with the morning pairing comes back for a Newsroom hour?

In general I would say CNNI weekends have much more news now than in years.
Typically, CNNI weekends used to have 30 or even 15 min of news on the top of the hour, followed by feature shows (basically infomercials).
I'm gonna say those are far fewer now, in favor of more full hours of news.
I kinda enjoy the simulcasts, and I know a lot of people do like the mix of domestic and international news.

It kind of fit what an international News channel (eg: BBC World News, DW TV, AJE) do especially on weekends 30 minutes but every hour then a feature show or docs. It also depends on the content, CNN I could do more news stories and content in 30 minutes than CNN US sometimes does in an hour. It depends on the CNN US newsroom, the Whitfield version does seem to be more newsy than the other versions, again I think being done from Atlanta helps it. And CNN US Newsroom does tend more US stories than you'd get on a CNNI programme. Again I also remember CNNI weekends right before the pandemic where they did hours without any news programming
