They had a temporary DTL constructed here. Behind this curved wall was where the old set/studio used to be and they installed desks there.
it did for a short period when they ripped out the big domestic set and they were constructing Studio7 then i think it went to a CSO set and then they completely scrubbed all views of the newsroom. They didnt even show the newsroom in and out of breaks during their Newsroom programmes. Which is odd. you think that would have taken live shots across the newsroom during the CNN newsroom era. But they never did. Even when they moved to Hudson Yards and had the mini newsroom backdrop they never showed the CNN Center Newsroom. Its like it ceased to exist.


RE: CNN - matthieu1221 - 23-11-2023

International also used to use a position overlooking the newsroom (which one?) with a big pillar and CNN logo if I recall correctly for News Now and Sports Now at times. I wonder if someone has a cap? There used to be someone (maybe someone on here) who posted News Now clips regularly but I can't seem to find them anymore.


RE: CNN - ginnyfan - 23-11-2023

In February 2009 we got a whole new, dark blue set, which kept the previous one's newswall + 3 plasma screens skeleton. The new set had some improvements however, like the new screen on the left side which became a crucial part of most bulletins. The left side was unused in the previous set with nothing there. The new CNN logo blue background also fit this set quite nicely, much better than the previous one. IMO this initial, 2009 version of the dark blue set looked the best and all later incarnations of it were downgrades.

With many new programs to come, there was again a lot of variety in how it was used, especially for the first new show, International Desk, which had a lot of moving camera action and experimental shots.

RE: CNN - ginnyfan - 23-11-2023

By the end of 2009 World News was rebranded as World Report and a whole new visual look was launched to go along with it. Most of it was blue/orange/yellow and it did fit the dark blue set , but overall this is probably CNNI's lowest point when it comes to visuals. It was just too local news, too tacky, too tired looking. Music choices were also questionable, with a pop tune for WR and a terrible new music for IDesk, replacing the original great theme. It was such a stark contrast to the fresh, modern look and sound of 2006 rebrand.

RE: CNN - gman - 23-11-2023

And then they added that gawdawful yellow panelling. Really hated that look!

But, the use of several angles and different positions was great and showcased what they had. Now, it's just someone sitting at a desk with rhe same face-on shot. Lovely set in London and we rarely get to see it!

Looking forward to the shots (!) of the next Atlanta studio. Started out well...


RE: CNN - sky303 - 23-11-2023

I do miss the CNNI style of the CNN US lower 3rds from that period, I actually liked the CNN 2008-2011 lower thirds, didn't like the 2011 look.
I liked the World Report branding but the graphics were kind of old looking when they launched them. Do miss International Desk.


RE: CNN - ginnyfan - 23-11-2023

Oh yes, that awful yellow panelling plus the right side wall with 3 plasma screens got a new, World Business Today intro, background. The change happened in August 2011.

But at least they were willing to shake things up every 2 or 3 years, unlike the eternal status quo we have now.

RE: CNN - ginnyfan - 23-11-2023

To finish this day, with some temporary sets. I forgot to post about the one they used at the end of 2008 and start of 2009, while the dark blue set was being built. It was nice to have a newsroom background again, for a while. Was this something from HLN?

RE: CNN - ginnyfan - 23-11-2023

As already mentioned, the new Atlanta newsroom was initially used quite often on CNNI, most of all in mid 2013, when they were building the last version of studio 4. Newsroom was used for IDesk, NewsCenter, BackStory while World Report got a separate temporary set.

It was in fact from HLN; the last uses were as the weekend studio (until 2007-2008), and as ocasional backup/DTL studio during 2009, even was used for a time during the final block of news (:54 to :57) before Prime News

The curious part is CNNI used again a small HLN studio as a temp base during the construction of studio 4's final incarnation.
