According to Martine Croxall on Twitter, the News Channel will be moving to BH "end of Feb-ish".


When's Febish? Is it just before Smarch? It better be before Smarch because I'm off on holiday on the shinty-sixth.


Good call... its always good to get away from the lousy Smarch weather.

If previous presenter tweets about the move schedule are any indication then they likely wont move in until Scotchtober or Dohvember

The one at the quarter past sting? They've been doing that a few months now, ever since they stood up at the other end of TC7 for that little section.

On another note - is there any news on the date TC7 is closing, or when the News at Six is moving into N6?

One would assume it'd be some time after Newsnight are out (which means the Six is the only thing to come from TC7?), and maybe even when World have moved. Either way, I'd think it to be late this year, or early next year.

Newsnight will be at BH from Monday, so presumably they could potentially close TC7 on Monday. It would be the most cost effective thing to do as it has been previously said that the News at Six will be the only programme broadcasting from there.

Agreed... although we havent had any internal confirmation on when TC7 will close. We'll only really know for sure if we see Huw in N9. The cant use N8 until World move out as they broadcast "The Hub" and "Focus on Africa" during the 5pm hour BST)

Didn't someone say N9 was already closed? I guess they may have kept it open because it will surely be cheaper to run N9 than TC7 for one bulletin a day.

If they did say N9 was "closed" they were talking out of their exhaust pipe. N9 has only been Mothballed and is ready to use at a moments notice, its been used for Local Elections and for both BBC News and BBC World News during times when their regular studios were under mainenance and over the Christmas period several years running.

Theyre moving out because TC7 is being rented. N9 is converted office within the BBC News Centre, probably doesn't need as many staff to run it as TC7 and they're bound to save a small fortune on electricity bills because N9 doesn't have any Barco cubes.

Ages ago I said that I wasn't sure if it had been closed, because overnight for a weekend Adnan Nawaz was in N6 (Presumably for maintenance in N8 ) rather than N9.

I wouldn't say a moment's notice, More like a day's

What exactly do they need to do that would take a day? Surely if N8 went down they could move to N9 within the hour?
