I can see it moving towards all BBC One bulletins being produced by what is now News 24 - i.e. one BBC News, rather than separate BBC One bulletins, only going their separate ways during major breaking news.
I actually am starting to think that they should use the same newswall that's in N6 and whatever the Newsnight studio is on News 24. I don't see the importance of seeing the actual newsroom through a window - yes it needs to be close to the studio to get news to them, but do we actually have to see the real newsroom.
I'd build a flat newswall the length of the News 24 set (from the left hand pod to the right hand screen) which could have the newroom projected onto it most of the time (the real newsroom would still be just behind the screens) but with the ability to use graphics like they are doing so effectively in the new sets.

I disagree with this. Your post Moz makes it sound like BBC 1 simulcast BBC News, despite there being different programmeing. For example at the weekends currently News 24 carries full 30 to 60 minute bulletins compared to BBC 1's 5 to 15 minute bulletins. Although simulcasting of these bulletins took place when BBC 1 was moving studio, it seems very disruptive to the flow of BBC News 24. In the past few months the BBC have said that they have a commitment to Breaking News, if they have to stay with the same BBC News bulltin they will not be able to carry the breaking News, possibly this was one of the downfalls of the itv News Channel. Likewise the audience on BBC 1 do not want to roll with breaking news for 15 minutes while BBC 1 dip in, but instead want a full comprehensive look at the days events. Yes there is simulcasing during the week of Breakfast, the 1, 6 & 10, but News 24 breaks away from these bulletins when there is breaking news either during or just before they go on air.
Therefore i think that it is likely that the current arrangement will continue with two seperate studios, with BBC News simulcasting some of the BBC 1 bulletins, pulling away when they need to.

My question with the changes, will BBC News 24 get a new set when it drops the 24 brand, or will the current one be adapted. I do think that the channel could benefit from the use of a video wall, but it is also important to maintain a live Newsroom view, giving the viewer the chance to see into the news behind the presenters.
