If that happened, they could be coming live from the moon, and no one would watch. Please don’t let Rita Cosby have a seat at the table.

That's the goal, really. If they get you for that moment, they hope that the actual coverage makes you stay.

I just mean that I see lots of stories, here and elsewhere, written about the anchor desks and sets of these programs. But I just question whether, after the first few seconds, they really matter to the viewer. Mr. A., yes, of course you’re right about that.

While the set is very nice, is that enough for people to actually turn to a network and watch? I might flip through and pause for a second if the set caught my attention, but that's it. Also, if their set is such a big deal, why don't they stay there instead of moving to the NBC studios? You've stated on their site that the move is forthcoming. I don’t get it.

They're certinaly getting there, in terms of set design. They're getting there. Those pictures are a lot better than the uber-busy newsroom set that MSNBC uses a lot during their coverage.
