This studio in use right now and the virtual one in use yesterday - seriously can’t decide which looks worse.

The virtual one, easily.

Not sure I agree. Studio D really doesn't work with a newsroom view.

I don't disagree, not really, it doesn't look great with the newsroom backdrop, but even C has issues there too. If anything, that's an issue with the backdrop itself, not the studios.

However, the virtual studio looks way too crisp, and way too fake. ITV News does the virtual studio way better, and I'm not sure if it's just the backdrop or whether they're using better tech to pull it off in a more believeable way, but it does show up just how poor, the BBC's virtual news studio is.

The real floor at ITV News is a very clever bit of design. It avoids the inevitable 'floating' feel you get otherwise, plus they have nailed the depth of field 'feel' so the background is suitably out of focus.

Presumably the works have disturbed other residents of the Newsroom

I think it’s the red that makes it look so bad. It just looks so harsh but also really tacky.

I'm guessing BBC London are in the VR studio (A) because News Channel and BBC One bulletins are in BBC London's regular studio (D)

That's exactly the case. London in A and Channel in D until Tuesday.
bkman1990 and London Lite gave kudos

Plus it has a standing position, which D lacks.

Really? I'm sure I've seen clips of Riz Lateef on a catwalk in D.

How are they coping with only half a newsroom from a newsgathering perspective? Have people been moved out to Millbank or is there reduced staffing over a Bank Holiday weekend so they can squeeze in?
