Interesting to note that the sofa has moved to the left of the studio (it used to be where the new weather/travel bulletin is), will we see more of it in the future?
Boris's interview incidentally was done from the stool/desk area.
It was never going to succeed with the name '14 to 1' you really need a brand that screams football so your target audience don't miss it on the EPG with a title the one they choose they're banking on everyone who might like the content checking it out without the content being obvious which isn't going to happen in a multi channel world.
Might have been better on Friday evening and to repeat early Saturday where you haven't got fans traveling to games and similar shows from the BBC, Sky and BT. 'The London Football Show' would have been a more effective brand even if a little bland.
Perhaps they had two many teams to cover as opposed to places like Birmingham and Sheffield where you could target the show towards fans of no more than 3 or 4 teams.
A great improvement to have Headline London on five days a week at midday - was always bizarre to have a lunchtime news programme take a day off in the middle of the week.
Now they just need a similarly serious news programme in the evening schedule.

I didn't realise Power Lunch had been axed on Thursdays. The Headline Interview (which was on yesterday from 1-1.30pm) must be the PL replacement. It was presented by Chris Blackhurst, Lebvedev Holdings Group Content director.
Oh come on?!
LondonLive "news" is so frustrating. So they completely waste this brilliant view into the working newsroom. By showing someone getting their head rubbed. IMO degrading their already shabby "news" product.The "news" dept is a rudderless mess. Why present the news headlines along with all the other studio programmes from the loft space rather then the active newsroom. All the programs are very same-y feeling. Hugh mistake covering all the walls in that stupid brick. The interviews and discussions should take place in the loft. (Sad most of the studio programs are loads of interviews and debates) News should be from the news room. Not a very dynamic use of their cramped studio spaces. But unfortunately it was designed by a fool. What person thought that faux brick knee wall was a good idea? Messy Messy Messy.
It would have been awesome had they made a visual/content investment in their news component. They could have really fixed up that digital content center attached to the newsroom. Put a big video wall on one side and a nice floor and then in the news room painted some of those white columns added some uplighting and put an Evening Standard/Indy graphic on that far back wall and repositioned those tv monitors that they have scattered about. Made it look semi-professional without spending tons on the newsroom it self.
