CBS owned and operated stations have been moving from away the dark wood sets to sets that feature little to no wood and are brighter and lighter. Most are very blue. As this colour does allow the anchors to "pop" off the screen better than flesh-tone back grounds and, surprise, wood! Duh.
WIth the exception of WBBM & KCBS (which both need updates desparately) there is a running theme on the newer-ish CBS O&O affiliate sets. Of course they dont all match but they are slowly moving away from the over-use of wood and maybe toward the over-use of blue?! But its a good sign in any event. The small stations and affiliate groups typically look toward the large market stations for design cues and whats hot in presentation design..with varying degrees of success.

Terrible on every level. Streetfront studio that is not used very well. Expensive and a mess in my opinion
