I actually LOL'd when I read that. I dont understand why somethings were allowed to go to air especially since it was a such a hyped change that was taking place and clearly little effort was put into the presenation. We know the content is good. But it still has to look professional . Im sure there must be a storehouse somewhere that holds some unused set pieces. They coulda cobbled together a decent set. Creating a half-decent newsroom set.
Maybe one of those circular internally lit platforms, thrown in 3-4 simple red internally lit columns and have the tv screens mounted between each column. But you can still see the newsroom in the background. 2 cameras. One need for a wide-ish establishing shot show a decent amount of the set and then one that is zoomed in on the correspondent. its not like the Jago sets today are that massively different from the ones they had 10-15 years ago. Basically they same design.
Its not unprecedented to re-use set pieces. CNN is moving their CNNI set from CNN Center to Techwood. Im sure it will get some upgrades as well.
