Here's a blueprint of the main part of 3A. If it's too small, you can go here and click on it to see it larger. The newsroom is to the left. I believe the Martin Bashir set was behind the wall that's at the bottom of the blueprint, or at least I remember reading that a while back. I'm not entirely sure though.

Also, fun fact— the huge wall of small monitors that make up the skyline shot in that first picture that Mouseboy posted are actually doors that lead to a storage area for other desks when they're not in use! You can see it marked in the right side.

You're also right about the studio above the Today studio— also known as 2A. It was the home of Countdown with Keith Olbermann. It has been returned to the Today Show though, I believe. I wouldn't be caught dead watching that show.

I'll give Ronan Farrow a chance, though it's a bit unappetizing how he's so carefully orchestrated his big entrance onto the world stage. I really think what this Guardian article had to say about him a few months back was spot on:

Quote:
Along with his academic credentials and humanitarian awards, Ronan Farrow has, at the age of 25, jumped past all other genius in his peer group, and already been the protege of the late Richard Holbrooke at the State Department (himself a dedicated friend to celebrities), and then, later, in the New York Times tolerant description, "Hillary Rodham Clinton's special adviser for global youth issues".

Of course, if you believe being Hillary Clinton's "special adviser for global youth issues" is a real job, then you are the person for whom the Ronan Farrow story is being tailored.


I also wish MSNBC went back to some semblance of a news network. Some of their point of view programming is good, especially Chris Hayes, but it's way too much when it's all it is all day long. The only shows they run that I would call straight news are First Look, Way Too Early (which are both on before 6am), Daily Rundown, and perhaps Chris Jansing's show.

Jose Diaz Balart's new show for MSNBC debuts on a new set from Miami. Mr Balart is the anchor of the Telemundo's evening newscast. Telemundo as a US-based spanish language network owned by NBC.
Its a small set. But a brilliant use of LCD's (of some sort) to create a nice window effect. This show likely originates from the NBC studios of WTVJ 6 /Telemundo HQ.

Nice set, apart from all the crap on the left hand side, is this MSNBC's only programme made from outside New York?

No, I believe other programmes regularly come from Washington DC and LA, along with around the country.

I remember Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell come from DC. What comes from LA?

One of the dayside shows comes from the LA set at the Tom Brokaw News Center every few weeks, can't remember who's show it is.

FYI Updated Pics of new bureau. Looks like they can add pieces to the ends to the make the desk bigger. The NBC NEWS LOS ANGELES banner is a screeen that can be changed. Nice versatile set-up

Ah, I knew nothing regularly came from the Brokaw News Center, in Burbank.

The first picture has "Los Angeles" written in Calibri font with the second picture is written in the NBC font (not sure whether there is a name or not for it)

Good spot! Looks like the first was some sort of quick knock up for demo purposes.

I agree. But it not a sign in the conventional sense. Its actually a big horizontal screen. So when someone made the graphic for it they used the wrong font. I think the first pic was when the Brokaw News Centre opened. They sorta threw things together. If you look at the last pic with brian williams during Nightly News they added wooden panels to the sides of the desks in the newsroom
