Anna started the 4am hour saying "Max Foster will be up later today". Has he covered for anyone or appeared on air yet?
At first I thought it was the Magic Wall that necessitated 19Y for John as he was frequently interacting with it. However, 19Z has its own Magic Wall that was used in the 9am hour, so must have been something else...
In other news, starting from the second half of 10am ET hour international coverage was a bit thrown under the bus as CNN tried to accomodate both Baltimore bridge collapse coverage and SCOTUS abortion pills hearing. As a result, CNN/US had a more classical newscast, alternating between the two stories, while full audio stream of the hearing itself, originally planned for CNN/US, was relegated to CNNI / Max. No fancy videowall design that they usually did on CNN News Central, though (and they were a bit slow changing background graphics from CTW to Newsroom at 11am).
