Yes, the former New Day studio, now usually seen in tight shots in "At This Hour", had Jake Tapper and Ohio residents inside, with U.S. officials seen on the videowalls. Usually it was 19X that was preserved for Town Halls, but as it currently serves home to CNN This Morning, the now under-used previous brick-walled morning set picked up the torch.I am loving that font used last night! I hope this is a sign of things to come.
I see little to none signs of refurbishment, so CNN This Morning might get stuck in 19X for the foreseeable future (or they're gonna utilize 17N aka Newsroom for it?)
Also Sara Sidner was live in Ohio with another group of Ohio residents during this Town Hall, obviously, without much of a studio
By the way, the new "CNN Town Hall" logo has some Isa Soares Tonight vibes, with that globe behind it...

The second Town Hall, held yesterday, was from Washington, as it had two U.S. officials live on scene - the latter was actually Studio B of the Washington set. Audience was present too and it stretched into the space of neighboring Studio A with separators removed.
The presenting area of studio A was not shown, so we still have very little clue what is going on there...
