The Kelly Clarkson Show is on WTVJ at 2 PM.

Any news on Miami? It doesn't seem like the Tamron Hall show got cleared in this market.

The last studio debuted with the Van Jones show. Studio 19X is built to accommodate live studio audiences. https://www.newscaststudio.com/2019/07/23/cnn-studio-19x/
