Can't seem to find them being broadcast on the schedule. Only the usual US primetime on Saturday mornings, and Newsroom US editions on Sunday and Monday mornings.Since the pandemic all regular CNNI news output on weekends has been limited to US overnights -- since midnight ET to 6 AM ET (that is from 1 PM to 7 PM HKT in winter). You might as well notice that weekday Asia mornings, previously a slot for Your World Today and earlier CNN Today, is now also a US Simulcast. Even the Global Brief, having returned after the pandemic, is now axed.
Not too sure why but I was under the impression that they had returned in lieu of Newsroom US simulcasts. I must've been thinking that, fair enough, a permanent simulcast of US primetime on weekdays with CNN's stars is begrudgingly okay for the international audience, but that they wouldn't permanently be simulcasting just the bog standard Newsroom bulletin. I guess not.
