Historically CNN Domestic never broadcast live shows in the overnight hours. It was only around 2014/2015 when most of the CNNI hours were broadcast during the week and when the 4am/5am hours were added to the weekends. I never understood why there always seems to be live news at 2am/3am on a Monday morning but repeats the rest of the week.
I'm sure there's a ratings argument as well for why they'd rather repeat their top shows, maybe it factors into the ratings. A decade ago every local channel was in a fight to have the earliest newscast. Not sure if that's as strong a trend these days. Maybe more people are tuning in overnight for Forensic Files than live news.
CNN seem to be resurrecting 5 Things with Kate Bolduan. Just saw an ad that 5 things comes to Max on Monday April 15th. I didn't catch a time, it'll probably be uploaded rather than streamed live. The trailer says 5 things you need to know in 5 minutes or less. CNN+ lives on!
