Back in the day, i emailed Shepherd Smith and I remember he emailed me back. And he specific mention they were modelling The FOX Report on WSVN. WSVN played a huge influence on the graphically look of FNC for many years since its creation. THis was a time when many stations were following their style because the brash in your face presentation was really popular at the time. He also said the movement roving cameras was modeled after Citytv's CityPulse programme. From the sounds of it Shep was very invovled in the tone and the look of the programme. Early in his career Shep worked at WSVN. Which answers alot of those questions.
