London set has the ability to switch off CNN logo from the table during Amanpour, as it is made for PBS as well... It would be reasonable to suggest that if Abu Dhabi set was a shared space it would have that ability too... May be they just did not switch it on during the first show...
CTW launched in 2009 I believe, around the time of the “Go Beyond Borders” slogan.
It started in London. I don’t recall what year it moved to Abu Dhabi.
Here's the 2016 relaunch:
