It's similar designed but is used for quick reports often found in newsrooms. The previous one was in the newsroom area with the "NBC News London" signage and the multi viewer monitor wall in the back. Down the line cameras with a chroma key or video background would be called an insert studio in the US.
The previous view:
What the setup looks like:
Edit : Here's what one of NBC's inert studios in New York looks like. They have a couple of them. This was primarily used for Weekend Nightly News and correspondent packages. Occasionally a satellite tour would come from this studio where journalists would cross talk to affiliates or rented out for similar purposes.
One used for continuity for Sprout, NBC's kids channel, that packs a lot into a small space.
What's a flashcam? Is that like a Down the Line camera?

Not sure about this - looks very generic to me, and not a fan of the dark wood at all. No competition for WFTV's impressive new two-storey set in my opinion.

WKMG 6 Orlando debuted their new set. Its OK. Not a fan of the strange wood colour on that desk. The frosted panels are a bit retro but gives the set depth. But the wood and lighting makes it feels a bit dark. Unfortunately. Apparently the set was in testing and lighting sessions, when hurricane Matthew struck, so the massive weather center appeared before the main anchor portion. Kinda of a messy situation to debut a new set.

Interesting. I wonder if this has anything to do with the arrival of 5 News at the ITN building? Has NBC been shifted to another area or been forced to downsize slightly?
NBC News recently debuted an updated London Bureau look. Not sure if they completely ditched the flash cam in the newsroom.

As far as I know they're still at ITN. They apparently the space behind the flash cam and according to twitter pictures an area on the ITV News floor.

Is the raw NBC News feed on 15W meant for the London beaurau? I find it interesting to watch, often showing the goings on in the studios a good 2 to 3 hours before they go on air! Not to mention all manner of test cards, graphics and stings being played out.
Shame there doesn't seem to be a full NBC network feed (at least not unencrypted) that there used to be any more. Though there is a full feed of MSNBC, complete with commercials (and another without commercials).

I'm not sure. Looking at LyngSat it appears the NBC feeds on Telstar 12 Vantage at 15° W serves only the Europe and Middle East. I believe NBC receives most of their feeds from London and sends them to 30 Rock via Fiber.
Telstar 12 Vantage does have some Pan American transponders serving the east coast of North and South America. But according to Lyngsat it doesn't look like any are being uplinked from the US. I can't remember the term but what is called when you uplink a signal to on one frequency or transponder but its downlinked to another on the same satellite

Not sure why these NBC feeds exist here, I only wished the BBC did a similar thing

Cross-strapping? That's where you a satellite has more than one beam and you can uplink to a transponder on one and it's retransmitted from another on another beam. For example going up from the UK on a European beam and coming down on a North American beam. The transponders are 'cross strapped' - they have a connection between them which is strapped across from one side of the satellite to the other
One disadvantage of this of course is that the uplink can't see themselves coming back
What are the details of the NBC feed on 15w by the way?

I imagine the unencrypted MSNBC feeds there so crews in the field working from trucks can view the program that their correspondent appears on. Frequently they'll ask about one of their correspondents about a previous segment that aired before them for their opinion.

Sounds like cross strapping is the word I was looking for.
