Anyone know which deserted regional newsroom this DTL camera is in?.


It's Bangor.
Sure it's not Plymouth?

Is it really necessary when interviewing members of the public on specific matters to describe them on straps according to the item being covered, as has happened this morning with the description 'Energy Customer' beneath their name?

It looks like they're having some problems with the BARCO screens where the sport comes from and where they project the on location guests to when Presenter one is talking to them. The sports roundup came from the desk and the sports news 30sec teaser in the 1pm news TOH came from the CSO studio. One of the screens kept flickering on and off as if it had some sort of loose cable earlier - so maybe thats why they seem to be using very tight camera angles at the moment.

I'm not complaining BTW! Pointing something out!

The Sports heads at 13.00 are always CSO'd...

I'm quite sure it's not. The Plymouth newsroom is a very long room, and the guest position they use shows it well. BBC South West is one end of the newsroom, whilst Radio Devon is at the other.

The Ten's opening shot is focused to the left of the wall, hiding the corner screens, so its clearly still broken.

How juvenile!!!! Who is that lady who threw the punches? I don't recall the BBC newsroom being a place for that sort of banter.

I'm a little cautious, not knowing the fuller context of that 'discussion'. But, bloody hell does that looks unprofessional. Emily positively squirms towards the end.

So what was this "question" they were all talking about?

It looked very strange in the end , Emily went hush and Jon looked down on the side, like they ended the bulletin.
