The program lasted nine years, ending due to budget cuts in June 2019. This resulted in CNN's Hong Kong bureau not producing any daily programming for the first time since its inauguration in the 1990s. Lu Stout moved on to feature programs, reporting, and occasionally filling in for Rosemary Church and Max Foster on CNN Newsroom.[2]
