I've heard that some regions already have the mock of their titles... red and grey is what I've been told.


You've heard the same as me then. I've not seen them myself, but I was told it would be white rather than grey. And lots of white, more so than Breakfast.

With large areas of white I wish Barco the best of luck in getting the colour temperature uniform on the back projectors in N6 Smile

Of course nationals may be doing something different, I don't get much opportunity to talk to the guys over at TVC stage 6 very often.


Could you tell us more about these titles. Are they uniform with each other, is it done by Lambie Nairn, and what features in this World of White...

Well, (as said in the Breakfast thread) Bill on Breakfast announced that this is their last broadcast in N6 today and they'll be moving to TC7 next week.

Next Week? Is that the same with the News 24 Move?

I doubt that very much from what noggin was saying about the length of time to change the studios and galleries.

I suspect this is just the first visible stage in a process which will take quite a while. As Breakfast no longer uses the desk during weekdays then there is no reason why the same set (background) and sofa can't be used initially in TC7.

Not sure how this move actually frees up N6 for any changes to the actual studio though Confused: It would still need to be used for the nationals.

Martin, I really do wish you'd catch up!

News 24 aren't moving into TC7. All current N6 programmes are moving into TC7 to allow N6 to be vacated for a full refit ready for News 24 (along with the 1 and 10) to move into there.

24 will stay in N8 until N6 is ready.

There are so many threads, i'm sorry i'm not fully up to speed.

So, N6 is being cleared of all use, while it is prepared for its new role as evening national and News 24 use.

So TC7 will be used by all shows, National, Breakfast, Newsnight, World Programmes etc, how will the hand-off to Newsnight work, will it have to use pre-recorded intros?

Also what does this refit include, is the studio getting a redress or is it just gallery upgrades, and how long will this process take.

Yes, eventually N6 will be the home to News 24, the 1 and the 10. Breakfast and the 6 will come from TC7.

Don't know how they'll work the hand-off to Newsnight, but there was something on the internet recently saying that Newsnight would just get 5 or 6 minutes to prepare their set, rather than the usual several hours.

EDIT: Missed a bit - don't know what's happening to the studios redress-wise. All depends on this mysterious BBC News rebranding and to which extent it has an effect on national news. Presumably N6 will need an additional pres area for N24. Galleries in N6, TC7 and N8 are all getting upgrade I think.

Think they said it'd take a few months. I'd expect News 24 to be in N6 end of April, but that's just going on what's been said here. I have no inside knowledge!
