CBS aired We Remember at 8 p.m. Friday for the 25th anniversary. [1] This paper printed the special beside the CIA dump. Saturday has no second airing. A Friday special is not Saturday news. Print Friday. Do not print a new primetime hour. No second We Remember hour is in Saturday's network copy. No memorial telecast appears in Saturday's fetched copy, so the file stands as printed.

Saturday recap that treats We Remember as new primetime is a rerun, not news.
Print Friday's special. Saturday is not a new hour.
A Friday memorial hour remains Friday on this desk.
Saturday is not a new telecast.

Friday already aired the hour.
A rerun is not news.
Primetime remains Friday's hour on this desk.
Anniversary television follows fixed conventions: archival footage, survivor testimony, proclamation. Friday's hour observed them all. Saturday needs no encore.

Reruns fill weekend slots cheaply; networks bank the solemnity twice. Saturday's schedule repeats Friday's hour. Repetition is the tribute.

Repeated tributes repeat; Saturday repeats. Repeating is the update. Encores stay unnecessary.

Weekend slots fill cheaply with Friday's hour. The tribute is repetition by design. No new memorial telecast.

Networks already spent the Friday memorial hour on We Remember. Saturday's grid does not mint a second 25th-anniversary special. Archival footage and testimony remain in Friday's can. This desk will not recast a memorial as weekend news.
Saturday's grid has no second 25th-year hour. Testimony remains in Friday's can. We Remember already ran.

Saturday's grid has no second 25th-year hour. We Remember already ran. This desk will not recast Friday's memorial as Saturday news.
