BBC National News: Presentation

I believe, however, that it is a laser printer. Which is quiet - compared to inkjets and more economical as the toners are long lasting and they print quickly also.

That's probably why it is used.

We have a small HP laser printer in the Admin room at school, this or similar http://tinyurl.com/bq7fcfk ! Lovely printer and always clear and quiet!

There's no room under the desk - plus, as news junkie says, a laser printer is much quicker and the ink lasts much longer. It's not a big deal anyway because the camera isn't that high most of the time, it's only seen occasionally on some of the higher side shots.

11am headlines with Kate Silverton from TC7 this morning!

She's doing the One today, according to her Twitter.

Is it not normal to be in TC7?

Normally headlines at that time are done at the CSO. Rarely is it done from TC7, although increasingly it is.

Usually the headlines are done from N10, the clip studio, I think. The 1 itself will be done from N6.

I wonder if this is because the clip studio is out of use for some reason? If it was, for example for maintenance, where would they go? Isn't it also used for the BBC Three 60 second updates, hence it's in use all week long?

They may have been in TC7 because N10 is having some technical problems. TC7 is the only BBC News studio which isn't in use at this time (bar N9).

Its already been discussed in the News channel and Sport threads.
