Ch. 12  KPTV in Portland Or. does the same thing.  If you look past the big  
talking face wearing the headset/mic and out the windows in the background  
you can see that the chopper is on the ground and the background isn't  
moving.  Same deal with the traffic cams around town.

In Nashville for many years  they did the weather outside on the 6 and  10 PM 
news.
 
They installed a frost free double pane large window in the back wall   with 
a lean-to roof over the window and the about 10 feet or so from the back of  
the building they built a roofed weather set with a roof, maps, lighting,  mics 
etc.
 
When it came time for the weather the weather man  would walk outside  
rain,shine, snow or sleet day-night and do the weather outside.  In the  studio they 
rolled a camera up tp the back window and did a one camera shot with  a zoom 
lens for the segment.   I recall one night it was snowing so  much  that the 
lights hit the flakes and nearly blocked the  weatherman.
