Just noticed that CNN has missed a gorgeous handover opportunity in its DC output last week.
Thing is, in a rare occasion, both The Lead and the Situation Room aired from the same studio D, with Jake finishing in the "three vertical screens" section, and Wolf Blitzer or Alex Marquardt anchoring in the "wide video walls" section. They could have easily done what they now do on Saturdays when Victor&Amara pass it to Fredericka in the other corner of Studio 71, but alas.
They did wide shots after The Situation Room, featuring one of the three vertical screens, but it would be much more effective if done between The Lead and TSR.
On a separate note, Fareed appears to have settled in the "aquarium", as Jon Stewart called 21V in the beginning of his interview with Fareed. (Yes, of all the shows to invite Jon Stewart, it was foreign affairs - focused Fareed Zakaria GPS.) It's now the fourth time in row that they've used it - my suggestion is that it brings them more freedom in choosing the time to record the show during weekdays (if they do), with GPS previous home, 19Z, heavily occupied during parts of weekday evenings.
Also, they have continued the nice habit of using the video walls in a meaningful way, as now we can see Fareed talking to guests displayed on those walls (although good old split screen was used as well).
