Launch BBC News: Studio B

[Andrew]

A lot of it does look virtual even though it isn’t. I think it’s the very bright whites and reds in the background.

More personality led, more conversational in tone, I think I’ve seen that at 10pm somewhere else.

I wonder if all this will encourage Huw to stay on, as wasn’t he rumoured to be thinking about standing down, probably due to having presented the bulletin in E in exactly the same way for a decade

As lovely as the new set is it's all a bit too bright for my liking, the lighting likely works well for the 6 but for the 10 it could do with being dimmed down a bit

It does seem bright and the top floor seems a bit too dark.

I think the weakest bit was Huw straining to look at Katya Adler. The screen is too far behind him for him to see it…

Nearly 2 decades. The format of this bulletin has been about the same since 1993.

That's three decades, not two.

Regional opts

[DeMarkay]

Love the ‘gallery’ view of all the regions!

[UploadTV]

The ending with the regions is a tad tacky

[TVNerd]

I love that multi screen of every regional studio at the end, it’s a great use of that large curved screen

[Rolling News]

I meant Huw has been presenting for two decades. The format has been the same for three decades.

[bfgarmy]

That ending there with the regional teams was both TV Live bait and in a different way ‘Daily Mail/Defund The BBC’ bait.
Not sure it was entirely necessary but it made me chuckle.

I dare say that won’t last the week let alone the month or year

[thomalex]

Ah nice to be able to rest my eyes on Newsnight

That angle felt a bit like the one Charlie Stayt has to put up with

Nice touch with that region gallery...really trying to show off the bells and whistles

[IanJRedman]

It was less awkward than I thought it might be.
