NBC Nightly News to Studio 3A?

[carolinanews4 455]

In this article about the NBC News Now expansion with Christine Romans, there is a mention of the news service upcoming move next door to 3A. Within that there’s a nugget that NBC Nightly News will “make use of the same facility.” I do wonder if this is legit reporting or if it is an assumption by the publication as a hook to link to a previously published article. 
 

The reason I question it is because Llamas currently pivots from Nightly to Top Story from studio 1A. So why would the NBC News Now studio shuffle impact Llamas and team?  But I could also see it being legit, especially if the streamer’s 5-7 and 8-9 hours continue to be based in DC and LA studios.

I read the article and that’s what it sounds like. I never understood why Nightly News went to 1A but it probably had to do with the pandemic.
 

Studio 1A just looks cold and sterile now but it works for them in the ratings. Hopefully the 3A new look has more life than large video walls and AI but Comcast seems to embrace this trend with NBC News and their O&Os. 
 

Probably cheaper?
