The AP’s Frazier Moore writes about CNN’s New York News Wall…

Dominating one area of the studio is a screen that measures 24 feet long and 9 feet high (almost twice the dimensions of the “Situation Room” video wall). Simulating a computer’s desktop writ large, it accommodates a stream of live and taped dispatches, of correspondents and interview subjects, of maps and other graphics with which the studio-based anchor can interact on-camera. This screen is fed by a trio of 8,000-watt rear-projection units whose individual outputs are electronically fused into a continuous panoramic spread.

The new studio is also outfitted with a second, scaled-down video wall, as well as some six dozen teeming flat-screen monitors.

There’s a couch-equipped interview area and a module where in-studio correspondents can be debriefed. The main anchor desk can swivel in numerous directions, adding to the studio’s adaptable appearance.

UPDATE: It’s sort of odd that CNN is picking the middle of the week to launch this and not completely across the board for all New York based programs as American Morning won’t change over until next Monday. The cynic in me wonders if the launch was pushed up a bit to pull the spotlight off of FNC a bit in the press in the wake of the wave of FNC stories that have been dominating the media for the past two weeks with the Clinton/Wallace interview and FNC’s 10th Anniversay back to back. Conversly, it’s also possible that things are behind schedule and the piecemeal rollout (primetime tonight, mornings next week) is due to technical issues.

UPDATE 2: Klein directly refutes that in the article…

But was its introduction also timed to steal a little thunder from Fox News Channel’s 10th anniversary this week?

“I wish we were that smart,” Klein said with a laugh. “This has been in the works for more than a year.”
