The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

CNN Newsroom (also simply known as Newsroom) is the branding used for blocks of rolling news programming carried by the American cable network CNN. The program debuted on September 4, 2006, consolidating most of CNN's existing rolling news blocks (including CNN Live Today, Live From, CNN Saturday, CNN Saturday Night, CNN Sunday, and CNN Sunday Night) under a single brand. In April 2023, CNN began to replace Newsroom on weekdays with CNN News Central, with only its weekend editions remaining on the main channel. In September 2023, CNN reintroduced weekday blocks of Newsroom on its then-new streaming platform CNN Max. In 2024, Newsroom returned to the domestic weekday schedule, with 10 and 11 a.m hours anchored by Jim Acosta and Wolf Blitzer respectively; Blitzer was later succeeded by Pamela Brown in September. In March 2025, these two hours were replaced by a rescheduling of The Situation Room (which also added Brown as a co-anchor alongside Blitzer), once again relegating Newsroom to weekends on the domestic schedule.
