Why is show "the situation room" with Wolf Blitzer no longer shown to UK viewers?

I can't find it anywhere on the UK CNN listings.

Never watched it myself but it looks like CNN moved it from an evening slot to a day time slot last year domestically and reduced the amount it was shown internationally.

@UK-viewer a question for CNN, perhaps?

It seems and I'm sure been mentioned on here before that The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer is not showing from the CNN International version we get in the UK because of some recent changes, primarily due to CNN global and UK scheduling;

Since late 2025 and into early 2026, CNN has once again overhauled its international feed CNN International to separate it more from the US feed.

Plus, the Situation room moved to a US morning slot that for us is the CNN international prime time slot that offers different programmes at that time.

It hasn't been cancelled, it moved time slot in the US last year.

In January 2025 CNN announced a major weekday schedule shake-up. "The Situation Room" moved from its long-running 6pm ET (11pm UK/Ireland) evening slot to 10am–12pm ET (3pm-5pm UK/Ireland), and Pamela Brown joined Wolf Blitzer as co-anchor. The new schedule started in March 2025.

Because it's now a late-morning US programme, CNN International (the feed shown in the UK) generally doesn't carry it anymore, which is why it no longer appears on the CNN UK listings.
