Shel,

it is done on a limited basis. For example, a reporter in Washington, in
a basement somewhere may use a live shot of the US Capital as a
backdrop.
As far as live studio use of the Virtual set, it is analogous to what
every weather guy does today only for the entire show.

Mike might also be the first to admit that it has long been possible to
fool
an audience by, for example, running a fan so the newsman's hair blows
in
the wind, "placing him" at a scene whether live or on tape, where he is
not
actually there!

I'll bet it has been done, and is done semi-regularly in some places.

(His friend, Shel)
