I watched the BBC News Channel and Norweigan channel NRK1 change back with no problem although the BBC News Channel showed their ident twice this was probably to allow the change to happen. I know that Bingo Night Live on ITV1 went off the air soon after. Anyone else see the clocks change on any other channels? Were there any problems?

On Quiz Call, they always have to check their systems, so that takes about 5 minutes.

Was it me or did CNN just seem wrong in its schedules all day?

No its not just you. The clocks in The US don't go back until next weekend so I'm guessing the schedule on The EPG has been moved but CNN haven't changed.

That'll be because last year they cocked up quite spectacularly and couldn't take any calls all night. *looks for last year's thread*

This happens every year on all platforms, CNN never get the EPG right for that week.

Doesn't CNNi stick to GMT, like other international channels and therefore don't make any changes for Daylight Savings?

I don't see why that would allow the clock to change. Sometimes the play the bit up to the hour and then play a title sequence at xx:00, I think it depends who's opting in at that point

No, CNNi work on Eastern Time. In the past where they've shown shots of the gallery in the London studio there's been a clock showing Eastern Time. It helps when simulcasting with domestic CNN for things like Late Edition.
