Pretty much. They built at least one of the studios in the old newsroom set. However there is still a standing set within the old newsroom. It’s just never used and is now very small. I’m assuming it was left for any reporter to-camera live hits. No idea why they don’t use it, but I agree, it took some of the immediacy out of the channel when they changed to a fixed set.
The article below from the lighting company that works with the channel has a bit more detail on the studios and the technical challenges of lighting such small spaces.
