BBC National/News Channel from New Broadcasting House

All the London based ones I assume he means.

Of course 5 Live isn't the only part of BBC News not in London - there's 'teams' in Southampton, New York, Belfast etc.


No, he'll mean World Service. It's not much of a claim to say that World News are there when they've always shared a home with the domestic TV news

Lets just hope the robotic cameras don't have a wobbly and do this...

Certainly for me as a viewer, the open plan newsroom looks great. It's a lot more grand with the sweeping shot over the newsroom.

I don't know what the staff feel though, perhaps it's less newsroom and a bit more goldfish bowl?

It's day one, but as time goes on will we see an attack of the junk on desk, to make it more news-y?

Right, studio A up next.

Doesn't look too bad so far, but you can tell its fake.

Could be worse, I suppose.

It appears the reflection on the desk is fixed, at least compared to the Newswatch set.

Studio A in all it's...erm...glory:







And it's being used for the 'Ten' promo on BBC One:

Can someone remind me again why they can't use the same studio at 5 as the one at 9, or vice versa?

Because BBC World aren't in Studio C at 5pm but they are at 9pm.

10 is rehearsing in E - the usual studio. Unlike at 17:00, World is in C (IIRC, Focus on Africa is in B at 17:00). Thus, we have the 'glory' of A.

EDIT: beaten to it!

But at the moment it is BBC World News America live from Washington

Apologies for the size - will try and thumbnail in future if required!
