There's something a bit odd about the way the anchors hand over to each other on News Central from DC.
Just now, Boris handed over to Brianna looking directly at the camera. Brianna then appeared, standing just a few metres to the left of Boris and only just out of his shot - the portion of the video wall with her guest on was even visible behind Boris. At the end, she looked straight at the camera to hand over to Boris, just a few metres to the right of her.
They could so easily have swung the camera round for a more natural handover, but it feels like someone's decided that the anchors should only very rarely appear in the same shot.
