Yes - Although Anthony Mason introduces today's edition as our "annual money issue," other than the news recap, (and hopefully the show-ending moment of nature) the entire show is a repeat of the March 25 broadcast. Calling this the "quarterly money issue" would be more accurate.
Oh wait - there's a story about economic crisis in Greece. I think that's new.
I retract that last statement. That story is also recycled. Note: When they say "special edition" it means "recycled edition." They're probably on vacation.
