The only way I see them fitting into Studio H is if the podiums are up against the side of the studio we haven’t seen, since 3 sides of it are video walls, and Jake and Dana are aligned with the brick column with the corner video walls behind them.
While Techwood has other much larger studios, they’d need a lot of physical elements to hide any of the NBA or NHL branding in those spaces. Hudson Yards has the best “debate” studio, I’m surprised they chose Atlanta over it.
Easy enough to cover NBA/TNT/TBS/NHL whatever logos if needed. And set pieces are largely removable and changeable. CNN is def willing to spend a lot of money on this if needed.
Not surprising at all they chose Atlanta. Georgia is a key battleground state. The optics of being in Georgia and doing the debate in Georgia actually do matter.
I guess you could say what difference does it make, since they’ll just be in a TV studio with no audience so it would be the same anywhere. But the residents of Georgia will know will be paying closer attention because of it.
