Then how is it being allowed this week? Surely, with "election news where you are" they'd want to make sure they didn't loose anyone after the Ten, even if the studio is impressive?
You'd be surprised how many people take something that sounds like closing music as a signal that a programme has ended - and a cue to surf.

The Midlands didn't let the closing shot go out tonight. As soon as Huw had finished talking, we got about a second the closing music, and then Midlands Today crashed over the top of it.

The studio is nice, but do we not think they have just built a mix between sky centre and a giant Match of the Day Studio?. Also one thing I would say is at the beginning I think it looked a bit messy with all the workstations in front of the video wall but that's just my opinion.
Overall, looks really good.

The people in the background staring into their workstations (presumably on Facebook, (or even this forum) at licence payer's expense ) looks farcical to me. It's so very 'World of Sport' !!

lol - except without the noisy typewriters.
(I expect "typewriters" may need some explanation for the youngsters)

But those who want to watch regional news know it's there because they're told. If people "surf" then surely they don't want to watch regional news?
Even if it does reduce ratings, the BBC should not be worrying about it.

It may be that the director in charge got his "Closing Words" with no info about the music and hence the "Crashing"

Why shouldn't the BBC worry about ratings? Of all the broadcasters, they should worry most, as if they aren't getting good ratings, they're not spending our money efficiently. Note I used the word "good" - the definition of which differs based on the programme, whereas "high" (as used by all the commercial broadcasters) doesn't.

Yes, but they will get good ratings, won't they. They're the BBC, the national broadcaster, the nation always turns to the Beeb for big events like this. Cup finals, royal weddings, elections.

The 10 is being done by the same director all week I believe, it's possible that the operator in Birmingham simply didn't know this change had come in for this week and opted as usual after "..the news where you are...". It's easy to do!
