The newsroom appears to be lit better than usual aswell.

I think it's just the daylight through the windows helping to tilt the light balance slightly in favour of the newsroom over the studio. At this point, I've just come to the assumption that lighting (or not) the newsroom like that must have been a deliberate creative choice, because it is just so unusually poor that I can't believe any lighting director could have accidentally chosen such an odd balance.
