BBC News Channel: Presentation

I don't understand why you want to swap TC7 and N6 aside from the fact you can show off that you know some studio names. Putting big studio productions like Working Lunch into a small cupboard is ridiculous, as is having a rolling news channel from a vast full size studio.

I have to agree with Hyma here. There are so many programmes which couldn't be produced from N6 if they were transferred from TC7. The two Sunday morning programmes for a start, without extra staff to completely re-dress the set between 10:00 and 11:30. Swapping set furniture from Breakfast to Working Lunch to Newsround to Newsnight each weekday and the fact they wouldn't look as good in a small studio.

I'm sure noggin can advise here, but from what information I have gleaned in the past, there isn't an easily accesible route for set furniture to N6. Whereas TC7 is served in the same way as the other main production studios around the central doughnut.

That's before you even start on why BBC News would need the space available in TC7. OK, N6 isn't the same as being in N8 with the background of the newsroom, but I don't think it damages the channel in any way. It's just different.


They could have at least used a live shot of a newsroom though like the 1999 national news set to at least make it look real.

If I was in charge I would have moved world to TC7 all TC7 shows to N6 and news channel and national news to N8


So you'd give the most expensive studio to run to World? The studio which is arguably the least suited to rolling news because it's quite some distance from the newsroom being a main block studio rather than in the spur.


Yes I would because it looks better on screen than N6 for world but the news channel should be in the current N8. Why was world put in there anyway insted of the news channel.

I think N6 should have followed this makeshift world set for inspiration for there current one the bars and floor make the newsroom look real.

I wish the news channel would pack its bags and head straight for N8 I hate the news channels current set its plain dull and boring they should have made it more detailed to make N6 work maybe some metal bars/wood or carpet on the floor and the worst thing of all is the backdrop its like 2003 national news re-visited a screenshot or a realistic newsroom backdrop would be nice. If I was in charge I would have moved world to TC7 all TC7 shows to N6 and news channel and national news to N8 It would look cool with that new projector screen last of all take N9s plasma home Wink

BBC World News: Presentation

Yes I agree but remember N8 now has the news screen which could be used for the national news.

I do think N6 could have been made so much better a live shot from the newsroom would have been better insted of this constant blured image.

I suppose in the event of anything happening in either N6 or N8, they'll use N9, like engineering works or other problems.

Personally, I think News Channel should move into N9 and ditch N6, but aren't N6 and N8 nearer to each other than N8 and N9, so that would make it awkward. Didn't the newsrooms or something like that move when World moved to N8 to make everything nearer.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this subject!!

Yes I think so too N6 is aufull and too small, worlds set is much better I think they should build something like it in N9 for the news channel and close down N6.

Too small? Yet World's smaller set is good?

Stop saying such ridiculous things.


Actually, looknorth is quite right. N6 is an enclosed studio and a very small one at that. N8's set may be fairly small too but it has a real newsroom behind it which adds depth. That's something N6 hasn't got - it's pretty easy to tell they are just screens.


And the fact there is a crack in the screens behind the presenters makes it even more obvious.

I think that maybe world should have gone to N6 as the newsroom atmosphere isnt really essential to the channel in fact it might have been a good thing if world had gone to N6 because they could have made good use of the screens. The news channel/national news would look perfect in the new N8.

I was talking about the bbc new channel breakfiller which is a mix of the 1999 N24 countdown with parts of the 2008 version.
