Not strictly true as this was while BBC World News was in charge and they haven't won anything.

The BBC is investigating after several people gained unauthorised access to one of its studios during a live broadcast at Broadcasting House.

A group of five entered the studio at the building in central London at around 19:30 GMT on Friday.

The BBC News Channel was using the studio at the time, but the intruders were not seen on air.

It is understood the intruders left of their own accord. A BBC spokeswoman said no one was hurt.

The spokeswoman said: "We take security very seriously and are urgently investigating how several individuals were able to gain access to a studio.

"No one was hurt and there was no interruption to broadcasts.

"We have already taken further security measures and will take any other necessary steps."

I'm not sure what occurred but based on the BTS tour they did on Facebook Live and it appeared that there wasn't any sort of access restrictions into Studio E. ISTR the doors were shut leading into the studio but it didn't look like any keycard was needed.

No it wasn't, 100 days does not air on Fridays, would have been during Rachel Schofields shift.

Although they crashed into Northern Ireland Election coverage at about 7:50 (althrough that may have been more to do With Mike Nesbitt's resignation annoucement then the Studio Security Breach).

I think they use this kit https://www.pressassociation.com/pr-industry-monitoring/broadcast-services/

Although they have had facilities for a while, initially through a partnership with Granada's Lancaster office http://news.lancs.ac.uk/Web/News/Pages/640186305840C5BA8025741E00362942.aspx

I'm a bit surprised to hear that more U.K. universities don't have DTL studios. Almost every major university in the US it seems like has the ability to go live - even if they don't have a media program. I assume it has to do with the fact that cable news is a different beast between the US and the UK.

I believe most universities here are in the viewpoint that by allowing your professors and researchers appear on air is that it brings in great promotion. Additionally when you have a facility on site your staff can just show up for a few minutes before their hit and there's no need for them to miss the work day.

Some universities use their satellite uplink facilities which are operated in conjunction with studios while others use the VideoLink ReadyCam.
