Can someone tell me what / when this studio is used? Its obviously current style, but I've never seen it on air. Its in New York BTW.

Yes and it has the worst projected backdrop ever, and this is an example!

I believe it is.They may pull the shot out slightly at times but that's it. The other section of the set is used for Wide Angle - a PBS programme which features world news. The studio is based at WNET 13 - New York's local PBS.

My guess would be Fiona Bruce moving to the one three days per week, and Emily taking the 10 Friday job.


Heavens, I hope not. Fiona Bruce far outshines Emily Maitliss in practically every area. To be honest, I'm surprised Maitliss has got so far in such a short space of time, as there's nothing particularly outstanding about her.


I hope that with Natasha on her way (and possibly George as well) they will move Sophie back to the six permanently, perhaps as a single anchor, or with Dermot Murnaghan, leaving Bill and Sian to lead Breakfast (finally), Fiona Bruce or Louise Minchin on the one, and Huw or Emily on the ten.

As long it 's not Kate Silverton or Louise Minchin presenting on the Six, I don't really mind who goes on there. The six pm news has been a beleaguered show since 2005 and perhaps the BBC can improve it and choose some better presenters for it now.

I really can't see any reason why the six shouldn't go back to being single headed, personally.

It never really worked too well with George and Sophie and went from bad to worse with Natasha.

Now she's left perhaps it's time for a little re-think??

Not sure why you target Louise there Confused

I think Jon Sopel and Louise Minchin on the Six would work really well.

Huw & George can share the Ten,

Fiona and Sophie can share the One.

On the one, would Sophie be more senior than Fiona because Sophie anchors it...? Surely Fiona wouldn't want to drop to deputy/ relief on the one? But then they wouldn't budge Sophie again - surely.

I meant Fiona could cover her maternity leave.

Fiona is obviously happy with her current set-up of being deputy on the ten, why would it be any different if she were to change bulletins?

Oh Ok - i get it now.


Yeh I actually think it would work quite well having fiona on the one as noone is good enough to outclass her on the ten, but equally she wouldn't want to stay on the one so Sophie would get her slot back...


Very Happy
