The new set features a mix of warm woods and a blurred control room duratran background along with a vertical flat screen camera center between the two anchors and additional flat screens CL and CR.

The graphics package features similar tones of reds and blues as well as sharp lens flares as well as some gold hues mixed in.

Overall the look is simple and effective.

Update: NewscastStudio has confirmed FX Group designed the set.
