It’s more or less the same teams that had been doing those hours previously (it’s multiple teams being restructured into just two though).

So, we have two separate launches from New York and DC, the latter being two weeks late for some reason (can't finish refurbishing studios? not enough piloting?) and first glimpse of a logo.
Also worth noting that the production teams for both shows, as predicted, will remain in Atlanta.
If that wasn’t the case, we’d have heard about it quite some time ago. There would be a lot of layoffs and also new hirings in other cities.
As far back as I can remember, 9am-4pm ET during the week has always been produced out of Atlanta, regardless of where the anchors are.
And doesn’t seem unusual that one team is ready to go before the other. What is perhaps unusual is that they don’t want to wait until both are ready to launch.
I wouldn’t call it “piloting.” They’ve been doing rehearsals.
In my mind, pilots are for when shows are in development and are still kind of pitches and experiments BEFORE they’ve been fully greenlit. There are many pilots that never see the light of day.
