On the other hand, next Monday morning CNNI simulcasts seem to be there, including even Max Foster's hour.
Trying to keep track of the overnight schedules this year is a right challenge!
Weekday's dropped the 4am hour on 2/19 when the added AC360 repeat took it's place. Saturday's lost the 4am hour on 2/24 for the same reason. Sunday's lost the 2am hour on 2/18, the 3am hour on 3/17, and now the 4am hour on 4/7. Some nights carried extended simulcasts for various primaries or after the Oscars.
The weekday overnights have also been a hodgepodge.
Abby Phillip and Laura Coates lost their repeats on 2/12. Kaitlan Collins lasted a few extra weeks before being cut on 3/4. Jake Tapper had a 5 week stint before also being cut. The big winners so far: Erin Burnett, who currently has two extra repeats for the first time since September 2013, Wolf Blitzer, who has been a fixture since 2/19, and Anderson Cooper, who has a second repeat.
Forensic Files also had a weeknight stint on CNN during the early Zucker years in June of 2014, before being replaced by live MH17 coverage in July.
