Digging into the CNN Max news, this quote from Axios is interesting:
CNN/US produces all of its daytime programming in Atlanta from 9am-4pm ET. Are all of the shows from 8am-4pm ET on CNNI also produced from Atlanta?
If so that likely means that the 3 new hours from Atlanta will be outside of the daytime window, otherwise Techwood would need to run three concurrent control rooms.
My takeaway is that the hour from DC is most likely CNN Newsroom with Jim Sciutto, either before The Lead (2pm or 3pm) or after The Situation Room (7pm or 9pm). The evening makes more sense when streamers would have the Max app open to watch other shows. The remaining 3 hours are likely during the breakfast window (6am-9am) when Atlanta isn't producing any live content. This makes sense if CNN Max is trying to lure in a morning crowd that doesn't subscribe to cable. Counterpoint would be if CNN are planning on using other Turner tech teams that are assigned to any of the their live sports programming originating from Techwood and typically work evening/night shifts.
Just my thoughts on this Saturday morning. Curious to hear your thoughts as well.
