None of those shouted 'newsroom', fake or otherwise.
Looking even further back, I can't find any set for Breakfast (or it's predecessors) which used a backdrop associated with a newsroom.

I wonder if BBC Breakfast will have a news ticker at the bottom, similar to what GMB have, once they move into the new studio.
Looking at the picture, it does suggest that they are almost done building the studio, so my guess is that it might be March time when they move in.
But then again it might be less complete or more complete than what the picture suggests.

This would've been my guess, but we haven't seen any movement in terms of studios at NBH which is tipping me away from thinking there'll be one big co-ordinated relaunch. Though, of course, they might planning a BBC World News 2008 thing with regards to the merger and have the new studio delayed for several months after the rebrand (though I can't say I'd be thrilled with the new channel launching in Studio C, which, while not necessarily showing its age, has been used in a fairly unflaterring way in recent years).

The shell is nearly complete, I’d guess theres at least another 5 months work before any broadcasting is done from there.

Very much gone are the days when a set was ripped out on Friday evening, a weekend was spent in a CSO cupboard and a new set was ready on Monday morning.

RE: BBC Breakfast - DTV - 24-12-2022
Though not the regular weekday set, Breakfast did of course come from the BBC News 24/BBC News channel studio on weekends and bank holidays from 2000-2012 and initially featured headline summaries delivered from a set with N8's newsroom as a backdrop. I wouldn't say that a newsroom backdrop would be particularly out of place and I'd certainly rather have a live newsroom than an artifical (or worse badly photoshopped) one.
Maybe they'll have a rotating rostrum and be harking back to Breakfast's early years - the early hours with a newsroom backdrop, rotating to a lighter backdrop for the more frothy later hour.

I have to say the studio looked small. Might have a higher ceiling but it didn't look much bigger than the one they are in. I was hoping for a bigger studio so there could be a desk and sofa. Not as big as studio B but still.
The thing with the current studio is that it's actually a fairly decent size on paper - at around 155 sq m it has a floorspace area comparable to N6 and NBH-E. If it were rectangular and had a ceiling that was even 0.5m higher it would actually be quite a good studio.
The Sport newsroom area is 9m column centre to column centre. From the above pictures it looks like the space will be about one set of columns deep and one-and-a-third/half columns wide - so a space of about 108-120 sq m. This is notionally smaller, but will probably not feel any smaller due to the higher ceiling and less awkward shape. You also can't discount the level of depth you gain from having a real window.
