A bit of a light failure in the studio right now. All gone a bit dark.

This happened a couple of weeks back during the sport, parts of the light strip at the top of the barcos were flickering on and off

How anyone can watch this channel is beyond me. Their very slow pace and dull attitude towards news presenter is appalling.

Some of the presenters are also so far up their backside its unbelievable. Chris Eakin and Tim Wilcox especially, they think they are so good, but yet come across as pathetic.

Sky News is just as bad for their continous "coming up" segments and messy presentation.

By that you mean they haven't got big "Newsflash" and "Live at Five" graphics all the time? I know, it's appauling. You actually have to pay attention.

Right couple of arrogant know-it-alls.

Seriously though, what are you talking about?

I'd like to know how much energy those Barco screens use. They must be terrible for the environment.

Compared to?

Probably more friendly than the N8 newsroom being permenantly lit even when no-one's working in there, and then having all the back lit perspex stuff around the office so it looks nice on TV.

Assuming I've got the right ones, they seem to average about 100W per tile.

Those are LED panels (more like sky news).

BBC use projection cubes.
