The use of the set in Studio E/C strikes me as deliberately trying to make all news channel content streaming-friendly - the simpler the better for smaller devices. No catwalks (except for WBR), interviews done on split screen rather than presenter turning to a screen etc.

Presumably it's because using the close up shot of the presenter is the only way you can frame them without making it very obvious they're scrolling Autocue themselves using the controller on the desk.

And the presenter having to scroll it themselves means they're glued to the desk, so no catwalks etc.

For WBR does the main presenter scroll Autocue for the business presenter? Or do they have an Autocue operator?
