Not Lambie-Nairn, I think he ment the News 24 staff...
Though for much of the day the screens are being operated by the same vision mixers who have driven them since they were introduced.
The difference is that on a continuous news channel you have to simplify your production to be more flexible. You can't have 42 different combinations of screens when you have to quickly switch between one set-up and another, often with no notice. Instead you need a small number of flexible options, that allow you to know exactly what camera shots, what screen positions (and what destinations feed them) and what graphics sources you need to route quickly, and intuitively.
Sure the screen technology in the studios can deliver some very clever combinations of sources - but you need a full rehearsal and a fixed running order (allowing you time to set-up and clear screen effects) to allow this to happen. A news channel has neither - so has to be simpler...
