Looks far better tonight than last night. As others have said not a fan of the low desk and the weather at the screen but overall looks far better than the decade old set.
Are they using green screen in the studio aswell? What is the green curtain for?
Presumably for the weather. I expect most ITV regions have the weather green screen in their news studio so they only need to have one set-up, Calender certainly did that in the old building and I'd guess they do it in the new one.
I quite like it, but they need to sort the plasma screen out! It looks much too dark! Have they got it on economy mode or something?
I think it has some sort of dynamic setting turned on - it looks really dark when the whole screen is white, but looks a lot brighter when only part of it is.
Jo Blythe tweeted that they have "a few options" with regards to weather pres from the new studio. Hopefully it'll mean using a CSO tomorrow night as that screen is too small.
Having watched last nights bulletin and tonights, I think it was a good thing they had a dry run last night, as others said it was way too dark yesterday but tonights was just how it should look. I'm quite impressed and the view is good, but I did notice the BBC logo in the background on one of the buildings. Looking good in HD aswell, you forget how sharp the national and regional titles look in HD.
