During the weekend CNN World Sport and some of the magazine programs made it back to CNNI, starting at 12:30 AM ET on Saturday.
At least in the overnights World Sport was exclusive to CNNI, with CNN Max and CNN/US continuing with CNNI-produced Newsroom (not sure if this will count as "CNN Max simulcasting CNN/US").
First hour of TM Weekend was also substituted by magazines, as is usually the case.
Despite all of that, CNNI/Max still retained two opt-outs in the afternoon primarily covering Israel-Hamas war, each being two hours long (instead of three).
Interestingly, the second opt outs (with Julia Chatterley on Saturday and Lynda Kinkade on Sunday) were not continous on CNNI - after an hour of news (at 7p ET) they had an hour of magazines (8p ET) and only then another hour of news (9p ET).
Not sure what CNN Max had in this middle hour or when CNNI had World Sport during the day - did it go along with CNNI, did it revert to CNN/US or did the opt-out teams provide a special hour exclusively to CNN Max?
