They could, a la BBC World, have several idealised backgrounds, so 6am in December would be an early sunrise over the city, while 9am in June would be a cloudy / sunny day. But you say people wouldn't expect outside to be the same - remember someone on here did ask what phenomenon caused London to have a dark blue sky at night after having seen the nighttime version of the World backdrop.
Similar to the GMB title sequence then? If money was no object, I've had a CGI recreation of a specific view and then lit, animated and rendered to different scenes eg sunny summer day, winter sunrise, snowy Christmas etc, and if they are all from the same source image, they could seamlessly mixed to react to what is outside , plus they could then sell the clips and gain royalties etc.
I doubt it.
It doesn't seem like they'll change the backdrops anytime soon, and there's not really any reason to either. Gmtv had their Daylight London skyline during the winter/ dark mornings, GMB have screens so the view could be easily changed.
Although it may look a little odd when December arrives and the set has Christmas tree's everywhere.
It's interesting that the article picked up on the 'backdrop' situation. On the one hand, I think the backdrop in the 'window' should be changed to fit in with the time of year to add a bit of realism. On the other hand, however, people slated Daybreak (version one) for being too dark, so I don't know what would be preferable. I don't think, as the article suggests, though, that people actually look at the background specifically see what the weather is like. I can't see many being shocked to find that it isn't, in fact, glorious sunshine as they step outside to go to work in the last couple of days before November.
