That's a good question! If I'm not mistaken, whenever 8am hour originated from Atlanta this week, it was still done from the flash set.
One possible explanation is the lack of crew: CNNI doesn't use Atlanta studio after 8AM by default, so they wouldn't want to use another full crew team for just one hour (and 8am seems to be waaay too late for the overnight team to handle).
Another theory is that they are still working on the unveiled part of the set in the daytime hours and clean it up only for overnights.
Actually, this might also explain that weird two-month delay that CNNI experienced in moving to the studio as compared to Domestic: may be in March and first half of April there construction process was at such a stage that it was only possible to clean it up and switch the existing part to the "working mode" at the end of the week, when no construction is done for 2+ days.
Also, so far I haven't seen the big video walls in Studio H used for anything except fancy background. No story related images, no headlines, nothing - just background pics.
This wasn't the case with Studio 7 where they had been sometimes putting up stuff on those walls.
