The lighting around the upper white portion of the desk has become almost bright blue, kinda "Colgate-ultra" neon!! It looks quite nice, IMO.
Also good to see Sara Coburn on TWT this morning. I always feel she is under-utilised on BBC World.

Between Early Winter and Late Spring. I can confirm that there will be some changes, nothing revolutionary, but some major tweaks on both N24 and World's part.
How sure are you?
99.9% It was confirmed by two employees. It's not a total revamp, just a few major tweaks. That's all I know.

And when should we expect some further changes? Any idea?

I think that the 2000 set somewhat portrayed BBC World (and all other BBC News outlets) as elegant and professional, the colours for one and the halogen spotlights everywhere, it gave the output a sort of trustworthy and serious look, which seems to have changed when they brought in the neon and the plexiglass, lol . At the end of the day BBC World News is appealing to a serious international audience, i just think the Ivory & China Red did that.

Is BBC World giving a little too much coverage to the remembrance of Diana?
I mean, it's been the leading story since 5am this morning and it's still the main news on the 7pm edition of WNT. I'm sure it's a story that particularly touches British sensibility -and maybe the whole world's- but even Skynews, which broadcast more for a British public rather than for an international one, hasn't given this ammount of coverage to the story. On BBCnews.com it hasn't one of the three main news for hours.
I also found a little excessive the continuous repeating -again and again- of Prince Harry's words.

The only reason SKY didn't give it much coverage was because they never requested access to the LIVE BBC Events feed so had no pictures to opt to!

I've noticed that, too. On the same TV, I can watch both News 24 and BBC World and I've noticed that the studio output on World is awfully blurry. News 24 is crisp and clear, but World is far worse. I wonder what's causing it?

Someone really needs to fiddle with the cameras, some of the shots just look awfully blurry, and its been like that on BBC World for a long time!
