Launch BBC News: Studio B

[Brekkie]

But studio E still has something no other fancy set up can give you - the depth of a gigantic, real newsroom behind. The set can be refreshed, with a different desk and a better newswall but it really doesn't need anything else.

Exactly!  Losing the live real newsroom behind feels like a step backwards, seeing what happens as news breaks and people walk around etc - it felt as though you were there where the action happened.

Whilst I agree losing the real newsroom background is a loss the only time it's ever really bought anything to the coverage was when Prince Phillip died or the Queen visitied (though not sure that was on screen).   The gains far outway the losses here, but fixing up the catwalk screen and changing the desk would freshen up E nicely.
