CNNi, DStv 401, has added a new taped programme from Erin Burnett to the channel's weekend schedule.
The show is called Erin Burnett Outfront, the exact same name as her weekday show on the US version of CNN.
It will feature mainly in depth interviews with international news makers, most of which would just be interviews that was on her weekday show but has not yet been seen by the CNN audience outside of the US.
Because most of the interviews are just airings of interviews she did on her US shows, the topics discussed does come across as very US-centric, even though it is billed as taking on international issues.
It will also feature some exclusive interviews as well.
The earliest hints of a show on the international CNN came last year, when she renegotiated her contract with CNN, which stipulated that she would get a show on CNN International as well. At the time, most media outlets assumed that the show would be a weekday, primetime show, but that is obviously not the case now.
Erin Burnett Outfront airs at 4pm Central African Time on Saturdays, and then gets repeated at 10pm the same day and then a new episode airs on Sunday at 5pm and then gets repeated at 2:30am Monday morning again
