Yes, I am liking it today as well ginny. The desk is (I think) a circular one, and not the oval one they used to have. (I could be wrong though as a true wide shot hasn't been used). They have also removed the red fly-strip from behind the anchor. Only the chrome bar remains. And a few added bits of red on the wall panels inside the "newsroom".

Why use a fake Barco background when you've got the real thing sitting right next to it?
I think N8 would do well with a desk like that. It'd also be nice if they figured out a way for the presenter to sit at the left corner of the desk, so the Barcos could provide a background.

Because N8 still needs the same maintenance it's always needed when News 24 was based there. How many times a year did N24 decamp to N6 or TC7 during the weekend back in the day?
Is there any reason why they're in N9 today?

We’ve shown solid growth since our launch, and more recently with the re-brand and continued refinement of our output. This proves that European audiences are now actively seeking our content at the most competitive time of day”

No one has ever answered my question, that if BBC World News is larger than CNN in terms of audience numbers. According to press releases I think it isn't.
