Well, I think it's fair to say that the 9 O'clock news in Studio A looks bloody awful. I personally, would love to see a 5 News, 1997 style hour, live from the newsroom.
This little low table set-up could be used for interviews and I'm sure there would be a suitable screen somewhere in the newsroom. If not, surely the weather plasma could be used for 'down the line' interviews, obviously with the presenter stood with there back to the newsroom, not the giant 'BBC Weather' logo on the opposite wall.
The presenter could interview people at their desks and there are many features of the newsroom that would make a suitable backdrop. The gallery, for example or the bottom of the spiral staircase.
Just a thought..
