Pretty sure that NBC News Now desk is one formerly used on MSNBC when Alex Wagner had a show.

There’s a slight difference with that desk and the NBC News Now one - the one used by Alex Wagner has a thicker and raised top in the middle than the wings. There was one in the old MSNBC studio that probably was moved up.

NBC updated the Nightly News set following the 2020 Election. Completely details on NewsCast studio. Most of the wood tones were removed in favour or silver. Only the wood trimed anchor desk was retained. According the Newscast studio the were not temporrary due to the election, but the red and blue floor is still being debated. They also used a variety of new camera angles and movements to add energy to the broadcast. Overall a nice update.

Not sure if this was a clanger or just a summation of the latest events from the Whitehouse.

Those titles still seem weak - something not quite right with the look of the cgi and rendering

The full versions were more impressive.

I like it. Reminiscent of ITV's News at Ten opening circa 2008.

Nightly shortened its title in late 2017 because ABC World News Tonight was using a short title…
Also I think the newscast should not use the breaking news strap… Almost half of the stories are now breaking news.

Supposedly when this launched they were currently rendering a Christmas tree for Rockefeller Center. Assuming it didn’t turn out good and begs the question when would they start using it? When the tree arrives or while they keep it lit (generally last Wednesday in November and through the first week of January),

Well the then-editor of ITV News did move to NBC...

(I think this theory’s been mentioned here before IIRC)

The Christmas tree always used to feature when the titles used real footage (not sure if it was ever live).
