The network is using its studio, which features pivoting metallic panels with a square grid pattern, along with a modified desk and lighting cues that match the blue, green and yellow found in the Brazilian flag (a color palette we’ve seen many networks use).

The large on-set monitor is used to show topical and branded graphics behind the commentators.
