Does anyone know, when is BBC Farsi/Persian Television supposed to be coming online anyway?
EDIT: Just did a quick Google and this came up. Imagine that it isn't too long away then (although the year of launch inevitably turns to the year of launch +1)

I believe BBC Farsi/Persian will be in the same building, as will BBC London (probably) when they have to vacate Marylebone High Street when it is disposed of by the BBC.

It is in London, It is based in the Former Egton House, which I think is now one of the wings of the new Broadcasting House, called Egton Wing.
If I am wrong, can someone more qualified please correct me
Yes - though I'm not sure if it is actually a new building named in honour of Egton House rather than actually being the real skeleton of Egton refurbished.

Give them a chance - it is being launched (technically and creatively) by the same team who have just launched Arabic... I believe they've started recruiting recently.

Apologies if others have posted - but has anyone seen that the lighting in the big studio and the newsroom that forms its backdrop changes colour for different programmes. It is BBC News red for news bulletins - but there is a discussion programme on at the moment, where the studio lighting and background lighting in the newsroom is now purple.
Very neat - the joys of LED lighting I suspect.

Yep - the desk works really nicely doesn't it. When there is nothing in the plasmas in the front it just reads on-screen as shiny black, like the desktop, yet when there is something in the plasmas in the desk they read nicely.
I think the simplicity of the studio - coupled with some elegant lighting and a well lit newsroom background is a really good example of what you can do with a bit of joined-up thinking and a blank sheet of paper.
Sadly BBC News at TV Centre doesn't have the blank sheet - though BBC World may well have a bit more latitude with their space when they move in...

Yes, I've seen it red, purple and a light blue. It looks great. I really like the simplicity of the desk, and those graphics are amazing. Does anybody know what the ticker reads when it turns white? It only seems to show about a sentence before turning back to the grey ticker.

If you've seen a large desk then you've seen the big studio (it has the newsroom backdrop - with a blurry gallery in the deep background).
If you've only seen a small desk with space for just one person - then you've only seen the small studio. It has the gallery backdrop in the near background.
The videowall doesn't appear in every bulletin in the large studio - it isn't in the back of the main shots like the BBC and Sky walls. It is used for more "big screen" presentation and the interactive programme.
The interactive programme is here - starts in the gallery, moves to the studio, and then ends with the host walking through the newsroom to continue the show from a radio studio.

The current bulletin which started at 1500G is from the small studio.

What a fantastic programme! Reminds me very much of 'World Have Your Say'. Love the use of the newsroom/gallery - feels very connected and suited the pace of the programme.
Sincerely hope the new News 24 can pull off this sort of activity.
