It's very unusual for SOTU to be anything but live. Actually it's usually always live.Inside Politics was live, apparently with a different panel than SOTU.
Without wanting to feed into the idea that work is underway at the studios at CNN Washington it does seem peculiar.
Was Inside Politics live today?
May be the initial idea for SOTU was to be pre-recorded, as it is Super Bowl day in the US (and Jake is apparently a fan), but then, with interviews already conducted, another flying object was downed in Canada and so they switched to doing part of it live.
On Jan.1, which was not only a New Year holiday, but also a Sunday, SOTU also went pre-recorded, but so did Inside Politics and even CNN TM Weekend.
Inside Politics will always have a completely different panel to SOTU otherwise what would be the point?
Holidays at CNN such as Jan 1st are traditionally recorded.
The big Q/Anomaly is why SOTU was recorded this week...
