Thing is, Domestic is running normally or very close to it, it's just International that decided to air CNN Heroes two times a day (that it didn't show when it was originally broadcast on Domestic) instead of simulcasting Domestic on the same levels as it usually does on Saturdays.
CNN Heroes, Inside Africa, African Voices, Living Golf and (this year) old Episodes of The Whole Story. I don‘t understand this policy.
The result - well, only ONE hour of live news (right now, 4p ET) in a whole 15-hour-long time span from 9am till midnight (Amanpour Hour is recorded).
But generally, yes, CNN/US does not air news on holiday evenings unless there is some breaking stuff, and as CNNI falls back to Domestic at that time of day, neither does it.
