Today's going to be interesting in terms of who simulcasts what. As the news of Sen. Feinstein's death broke, CNNI went to CNN/US simulcast (not sure if CTW made it to air and for how long). Not sure if CNNMAX did it as well, but that seems likely.
UPD. At 9:40 ET Becky Anderson regained the air (and started telling about US govt shutdown, hehe), so it won't be wall to wall on CNNI.
The old SOTR/SOA was only weekly in its final months, I think. It was mostly daily for its run. Also it was 30 min vs the new version’s 60 min. I’m sure it’s quite different in other ways without Kate Bolduan.
The Feinstein news broke right around 9am eastern, perhaps a few minutes before. CNNI immediately went to CNN U.S.
CNN Max was already in its unique programming and did its own breaking news coverage (with Jim Acosta anchoring).
I think CNN Max will have to go its own way for breaking news quite often. That’s what Jim Sciutto’s role is supposed to be for the network, in addition to hosting the 2pm show.
