This honestly sounds great as far as content goes. It sounds like they're going to use a similar formula as what CBS did a decade ago. I'm guessing it will be a lot of in-depth, well-crafted news of the day pieces from reporters followed by a debrief with the anchors, as well as some focused interviews with specific newsworthy guests (rather than free-flowing opinion panels.)
Hopefully, the permanent set will be nice. I always thought the New Day set was a poor knockoff of the original CBS This Morning set. CNN has recently adopted the unsightly trend from MSNBC of using fake virtual sets projected onto seamless video walls. I can't help but think it looks so cheap, especially when Jake Tapper was interviewing Marcon in the DC studio a few weeks ago.
