In 1985, Turner purchased the Omni International hotel from Canadian real estate tycoon Nelson Skalbania and moved CNN's headquarters to the building, rechristening the complex as the CNN Center. As Omni International, the complex had never succeeded. Cousins sold it to Turner, along with the Atlanta Hawks NBA franchise. CNN moved into the end of the tower that once housed The World of Sid and Marty Krofft. Turner was instrumental in the revival of Atlanta's downtown.
CNN Philippines Network News News and subsequently 9News did not produce a weekend newscast except for severe weather coverage. Notable for such instance was Typhoon Hagupit (local name, Ruby) in December 2014. On June 13, 2015, CNN Philippines Network News expanded to seven days a week, branding the weekend editions as Network News Weekend albeit in a capacity as a half-hour newscast, unlike the 1-hour weeknight edition. Roanna Jamir was the inaugural anchor while doubling her duty as "Weekend Updates" top of the hour presenter. On November 29, 2015, Roanna Jamir made her final broadcast on Network News Weekend, prior to leaving the network.
