I'm sure it wasn't "All Elian All the Time."  I didn't get to hear any 
news
on Saturday, so I didn't know until I tuned in CNN Headline News on Sunday
that Elian had been returned to his father.  Then I tried to find someone
with the details of what had happened.  Headline News moved on to other
things and never recapitulated the events of early Saturday.  CNN was 
doing
financial and sports.  Finally, I got the noon news on Channel 5.  They
told what had happened on Saturday.  They, too, eventually moved on to
other news.  (Such as the big tieup at Logan.)
