Shame they didn't though, eh? the one at Oxford Road could have worked 10,000 times better than the mess they got lumbered with (such a high pricetag too!)
In terms of the space, yes, Oxford Road's studio was clearly very spacious, but the set-up there looked very dated and cheap with the projected screens and lot backdrop. Obviously, moving out of Oxford Road was clearly needed, thats a different discussion. If they had gone with the original idea of the space overlooking the Quays with the higher ceiling, their current space wouldn't have had to be used. Having said that, how they have used their space is quite remarkable, and isn't so prohibitive as I originally thought it would be. For Breakfast, the dimensions and layout more than suffice, and this current look in Salford is, combined, the programme's strongest look yet.
Right, back to discussion of Midlands Today.
To be fair, the NWT studio is also used for Breakfast, so obviously they need to do better than a regional-style studio. It's perfectly understandable IMO.
