And the new set is in place as of this morning. They’ve completely replaced the video wall and (not surprisingly given WFH) removed the newsroom backdrop completely.
A footnote to this is that what I assumed was just a temporary set is still in place on the other side of the studio and has continued to be used every day for Street Signs at 9am, which is a bit odd. The revamped video wall is appearing but none of the new set area.
It will be interesting to see if this hour starts to become a bit of a backwater now that it is no longer being simulcast on CNBC US. They have done quite well of late in persuading guests in the States to get up between 4:30 and 5 ET to come on.
Worth noting that the US has CNBC World, which simulcasts the Europe and Asia hours, so they're not missing anything including European Street Signs. CNBC World during US hours shows business reality shows and weekend programming produced by Asia and Europe such as The Edge and CNBC in Conversation.
Ah yes. Would be interested to learn its typical viewership.
The diverging economics between the TV operations of CNBC US and International are very interesting. Of course the US was always much more heavily-resourced and profitable, but the Europe and to a lesser extent Asian output is now a shadow of its former self, with ever lower staffing levels it seems. Meanwhile the US channel seems to sail on with ever more domestic-focused content. Apart from a 60-second report in Worldwide Exchange most days, it’s now extremely rare to see any International reporters appear on US-produced programming.
