It's real.
The desk near enough faces the back of the gallery, so the cameras can swing round 180 degrees to give the gallery as a backdrop. The second presentation area is at the far end of the newsroom, where there is a wall of Barco monitors. Neither are fully enclosed studio spaces like Arabic.

I think it may be the real window. If you look at the picture of BH, the second window down from the top has the same style windows as in the Persian set.
It's real.

I do like the studio though, it seems as if they have two seperate studios like BBC Arabic. One main one with the desk, newswall and another which has the gallery in the background.

BBC Arabic's not available in the EU unfortunately so I doubt we'll get Persian either
I wasn't aware Arabic was on Livestation, they must be taking it 'off air' as I'm not aware of any livestation encoders at Bush House.
Persian is available on Hotbird 13e across Europe and will be streamed from bbcpersian.com. Many of the documentary programmes do not have international streaming rights though, so not every programme on the schedule will be available online.

Don't think there are any surprises left, but then I've been looking at it for months now. I'll post the exact start time once it's confirmed.

Bvsh Hovse, is there anything more we should know about BBC Persian, seeing as though it is out in the open now?

All the Bush House TV studios have carpet I think, and it doesn't cause any problems. News programming doesn't really call for lots of dramatic crab/ped moves - and it help the acoustics when your studio is built in a small space.

Studio may look good but who puts carpet on the floor where there are cameras on peds?

The BBC is to spend £15million a year of taxpayers' money on a TV channel aimed at Iranians.
The corporation launches Persian TV next Wednesday, hoping it will compete with tightly-controlled state media in the Islamic republic.
But the broadcaster has already come under fire for wasting public money on the channel, which will be largely inaccessible to British TV viewers.

A well constructed point, Hyma.
£15m may not be an enormous amount of money in the grand scheme public expenditure, but it does raise the question as to why the UK government feel the need to provide a TV service for Iran in the first place. It obviously hasn't been welcomed.
I don't see the Iranians rushing to provide a TV channel for us, maybe because they don't see the requirement.
Perhaps if we didn't go around needlessly irritating foreign governments in this way then their more extremist citizens wouldn't be quite so tempted to visit here to practice their knowledge of explosives.
Providing commercial services through BBC Worldwide which showcase BBC programmes is an entirely different concept to that employed by the FCO in producing an 'alternative news service' specifically aimed at the citizens of a foreign country, especially one with which we are not on the best of terms most of the time.
