Anglia News

I would imagine so, not that it's a problem. I've always preferred that design over Anglia's previous work, which if you ask me, have been a bit shoddy.

That's slightly odd, as this evening the west edition is coming from the newsroom. I think possibly presenting from the newsroom is actually an improvement, as the studio set is/was rather awful.

Good to see Anglia haven't converted fully to widescreen yet.

I don't know about you guys but I hope this move and new set will mean they start broadcast the news in proper widescreen, rather then 14:3 pillarbox.

EDIT : Just saw Charlie say he's glad they haven't. Well, I have to agree to disagree with him.

Apparently an image of Bedfords' bridge will feature as part of the new studio. The bridges current green lighting doesn't fit though, and for one week the bridge has been relit to blue as a trial. Anglia news are trying to get viewers to help persuade the council to make the lighting remain blue, well that's one way to make a sets background fit.

From what I can gather just listening this evening they are moving into Anglia House next week.

no. they move on saturday...

They could just take the live images with the green light and change the hue to blue.

A few screen shots below from last Friday’s Anglia Tonight which reported on Anglia Television being given the Freedom of the City of Norwich in recognition to the station’s contribution to the city.

Captures show the ceremony with a few Anglia presenters in attendance as well as Charles Allen. Good to see the Anglia knight in attendance and the whole ceremony kicked off with the traditional Anglia music being played. Naturally with Allen there, the company was referred to as ITV Anglia.

Charlie, the images used on ITV regional news back-projection are on a looped video, so the blue lighting doesn't need to be permanent anyway......just for the purposes of the recording......more's the pity!

ITV Westcountry (*shudders* having to say ITV first! ) had the Tamar Bridge recently relit to show up to record their backdrop (for the winter season) and drivers had to be warned about bright lights from the banks of the river during the process.

There's something you don't normally see in the same room, Charles Allen and a piece of hertiage (i.e. tihe Anglia Knight) and he looks *so* happy to be there too!

A pic from the Anglia website. Any ideas where that is in the background? Maybe looking over Norwich market from the Forum? Can't really tell.

I hope not as thats the West presenters on screen and there won't be any relevance of having Norwich as a backdrop as it's a bit too far East!

The reason West is coming from the newsroom this week is because they have moved the cameras up to the new studios, so they are using a temporary set up in the meantime.

The picture in the background on that TV set (taken from the win a new tv competition!) is one of the test backdrops filmed for the West which won't be used. I'm not sure where it is, but it's definitely not Norwich as someone rightly pointed out!

The backdrop West will use has been chosen, but you'll have to wait until Saturday to find out.
