Launch BBC News: Studio B

[ginnyfan]

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.

[RDJ]

As change goes, this is sorely needed. And if utilised in the right way (as it appears that it will do) then this set could last for many years to come.

Also interesting that the weather is being brought into the studio at Ten which means that regions will have proper closers on the late bulletins now which will be much better.

It’s quite frustrating that once again we’ve got half a refresh, when really a new set should coincide with new branding (rather than branding that’s 14 years old). But again, it’s a step in the right direction. Could give ITV News the kick up the Jaxie it needs and create some real competition between the two main terrestrial news providers.

Cheer up!

I can't, Moz. This all looks dreadful.

Wow. Each to his own I suppose.

I think it looks great. It can easily grow on you as well. Sometimes I hate things when I first see them and start to like them over time.

10 minutes to go for the Ten!

Someone mentioned the new set BBC News set looked European. For the redesign of breakfast set I heard they were going towards American breakfast show!

I’m wondering whether the studios - also the BBC’s Washington set - designed by same company…

[CATV]

I like it. The balcony bit looks a bit dull but overall I like it.

On either side of studio e is a spiral staircase. One of them goes all the way down to the studios. With a bit of editing they could start to go down the stairs in the newsroom to come out in studio b.

[DTV]

This is NBHs equivalent to N6 I guess only a million times better I really think they need to light up the top floor though and it will look even better I reckon.

Studio E now just looks too small after seeing this.

What do you mean by this being NBH's equivalent to N6? N6 was roughly the same size as Studio E, just with a bit more headroom and lacking a live newsroom view.

Has it been confirmed this is a Clickspring design? It certainly has elements of the Washington set, but I don't think we've heard who it has been designed by.

Huw standing up when reading the headlines.

I guess this is the end of the ‘Do The Huw’

[Juicy Joe]

No slide down the bannister! :-(

[Rolling News]

[IanJRedman]

A new visual wipe between the headline items. The titles feel different too.
