With a small space studio set, you can replicate the 'vibe' of a look without being a copy. Any more and it'll be a waste as no room for the type of shots a bigger set can give.
There's probably enough bits knocking around after upgrades and closures to repurpose for an upgraded look.
Oxford static panels and set head/footer framework and leds would be a good base, utilise large LCD screens to make a proxy video wall, hell even pivot an extra one to portrait for the show branding card; add a red vertical stripe with branding over an existing newsroom background print and it's a pretty near look.
Here ends my one time fantasy set contribution.
A set doesn't need to be identical, regional viewers don't see other areas very often. It's become a weird British quirk where things must be matching, I can think of no other country where regional TV is cloned in every area - music, gfx, titles yes but whole sets? Can't recall any
