BBC Breakfast - 16th July onwards

I wish that other regions would also use their news sets for Inside Out, in preference to the ropey CSO. Here links could be presented from the sofa part of the Points West set, with the large projection screen showing an Inside Out logo.

It’s not just about moving studios.
Production team logistics, I understand sport and news have different productions systems (while compatible of sorts, there’s lengthy transfers), different gallery technology, guest liaison and make up logistics.
It’s not just a case of moving a couple of presenters.
And while that sport set has the height, it’s smaller than the Breakfast/NWT one.
I also understand the sport set is managed and maintained by an outside production company so there would be an extra cost involved that the current one doesn’t have.

When Breakfast did use it, I thought it looked a bit dark and empty and the show missed the big screens.

No issue there that couldn't be overcome. Indeed sharing guest liason and "make up logistics" surely makes safe in an era of cost-saving.

To be honest, I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don't think the sports studio would suit Breakfast at all.

I find it absolutely incredulous the only thing changing is that damn sofa!

It’s the country’s most watched and most loved breakfast show and that’s been the case for decades. The show has received the following since moving to Salford:

Background changed at a cost of peanuts, new titles and music and now a new sofa.

WAKE UP BBC - Give the programme the love and upgrade it deserves. I’m not sure I can stick another 4 years of a presenter team cricking their necks to turn to a live shot.

Absolutely ridiculous.

There’s nothing wrong with the BBC Breakfast studio/set. Still looks modern and is very practical. Anyway we shouldn’t all be so surprised as the BBC have always been scared to change things just like the old Breakfast set in London. Looked like something from the 90s even when they did do the odd change never looked presentable or easy on the eye. Current one looks good even after 8/9 years

Couldn't they do what BBC THree did and have News Summaries on the hour. Move The Briefing to BBC Four at 5am, Olympic Breakfast 6-9 on BBC One,

That's an idea! Scrap the whole thing and replace it with 'Wake Up BBC', with a huge set and a big-name presenter line-up.

I joke, but to be fair in 2016 Breakfast did look good from the Sport Centre, and it's certainly a lot more suited to the profile of the show than the NWT studio is.

There's an easy way to stop the presenter team cricking their necks and that is to have the presenter and interviewee side by side on screen. I've no idea why the fashion of having the presenter have their backs to viewers started while talking to someone on a screen, but it's terrible.

The Sport set is on the ground floor, it's a SPORT set for heaven's sake, it's hardly worth the investment the BBC have clearly put into it for NC and NAT bulletins. it's actually outrageous.

Breakfast needs to move downstairs given it's the - #1 Breakfast show in the country. So what the production team are up a few levels?

It's beyond madness Sport has been given such a vast space when there are nearly never any guests. Football Focus, MOTD and other shows have their own studio - why the hell can't BREAKFAST, instead of being shoved in a regional shoebox studio with very little versatility.

If the BBC are banking on 'oh well, audience figures ain't changed, so why invest in a new set' - sadness!

The ‘vast’ space is not so vast in reality.

Nicely re-lit set this morning for a discussion about an Antarctic Expedition.
