I had to re-watch that. THAT WAS THE CNN I REMEMBER. Wow. Fascinating to watch. Thanks for posting that!
Shortly before the Tienanmen Square massacre, CNN is ordered -- live on the air -- to stop broadcasting from Beijing, 1989:

At 5:56 I have the bad feeling that France 3 Tarn have used a picture of the set of Bavarian newscast Rundschau as their chroma-key…

French television again with the intro and headlines of the news on La Cinq, in June 1991 (at 5:58 in the following video).
La Cinq used to be the sister channel of Mediaset's Canale Cinque in Italy and Telecinco in Spain. Launched in February 1986 as the first commercial free-to-air competitor to then-PSB TF1 and still-PSB Antenne 2, it died on 12 April 1992 (almost exactly 28 years ago), after financial difficulties, unsuccessful changes of strategy, and also possibly some kind of political interference.
The fifth terrestrial television channel was attributed to Arte later in 1992, before Télé-Emploi (later La Cinquième and France 5) took its daytime slots in 1994.
La Cinq's visual identity in its final year of existence was designed by Jean-Paul Goude and Fabien Baron; it was influenced by the pop-art works of Jasper Johns. The music you can hear during the intro and the headlines was designed by Michel Hardy, but contains samples of Moldavia (or is it Neurobashing ?) by Belgian EBM band Front 242. (For more information on this brand identity, Lenodal has a blog post in French about it, including an interview with Jean-Paul Goude.)
The second video below is from the same channel in 1992. It contains a promo which was played as a filler loop during the night, reusing the Front 242-based theme; then at 2:48 the intro of a nightly news update; and at 3:20 a "coming-next" announcement for the news at 8pm, a promo for the cantonal election coverage, and the intro to the news at 8pm (with a different musical theme, in use until the very last day).
Various regional news intros (including sub-regional and local opt-outs) on France 3 from before the current look was adopted in 2018:

Might be of interest to some, but ORF have an entire Covid-19-free team of people permanently living and working in their HQ. They are sleeping in make-shift rooms in their HQ and are not going home or mixing with anyone from the outside world. That way they can continue, on-screen, as normal. They have a separate 'outside' team reporting from location.

You can see those makeshift rooms in this report about how ORF is handling the crisis:
