Only in brief glimpses through a screen. but it looks good from what I’ve seen.
May not be to everyone’s taste but that always comes down to what the graphics and heads of news and others come up with when a redesign is planned.
Certainly an upgrade on the existing set pieces that were there and will allow for a nice big studio space for AM which can be benefited from by the other shows too.

I get the feeling we’re in for role reversal this year… AM will look really good and Breakfast the poor cousin. But maybe it will be a pleasant surprise on Breakfast’s part …

I wonder if breakfast will have to do a midyear re-launch?

The ERA case between Discovery & Tova is online here
Timeline is a little different to what I imagined …
23 September - October 2021 - discussions with Ms Bristow about other opportunities
From 23 September 2021 through to early October Ms O’Brien had several discussions with Ms Bristow about other opportunities within Discovery to progress her career. The discussions did not result in a new role within Discovery which met Ms O’Brien’s career aspirations. She said she found this disappointing.
21 October 2021 – Ms O’Brien resigns
On 20 October Ms O’Brien rang Ms Bristow to advise she would be resigning. On 21 October she tendered her written resignation advising she had ‘…accepted a position at MediaWorks with a proposed start date of 23 January 2022.’ The letter included an expression of disappointment that their discussions regarding new roles did not progress and ended:
I hope Discovery can work with MediaWorks, and you can work with me, to agree on the next steps. You have my complete commitment to do everything, anything and whatever you think best to manage the transition in the gallery.
26 October – the parties raise the restraints
During a telephone conversation on 26 October Ms Bristow told Ms O’Brien by her calculations she would not be able to start with MWR until 21 April 2022 given her three month notice period plus three month non-competition restraint
2 November – MWR media release announcing Ms O’Brien’s appointment
19 November – Ms O’Brien photographed for MWR promotional video
30 November – Discovery’s lawyers write to Ms O’Brien’s lawyers
This letter expresses surprise and disappointment when Discovery became aware Ms O’Brien had featured in a MWR advertising campaign
