Someone said that the sports stuff would continue to come from ITN studio 5 for the time being. But if it's not being used daily for Five News they will soon be looking for alternative uses I'm sure.

As I said earlier in this thread, Sunset & Vine will continue to use Studio 5 initially. The plan is that it will eventually move to Studio 6 (Channel 4's studio). The timescale for this is unknown to mere mortals like me, but I'm sure the gov'ners have a date in mind.

As for the eventual fate of Studio 5, there are rumours that some sort of production for Reuters will take place there. I understand that Reuters narrowcast to various financial institutions, so I can only assume that the Studio 5 material will be part of this.

[EDIT]
Are there any Reuters employees out there who can confirm or debunk whether they do indeed narrowcast?

Just looking back on the Sky+ at midnight last night on Sky News, and Julie introduced Big Ben from Phuket, welcoming viewers watching on five and Sky One.

After a few minutes of the fireworks she reappeared to wish everyone a peaceful new year from everyone in Thailand, it was quite understated and well handled.

I think that's what everybody is wondering - you don't have to say it for the sake of posting a message!

Julie's introduction wasn't shown on five, only big ben was, i'm not sure if the cut back to Julie was on Five.

The rumours that have already been heard is that the set looks trendy and is a bit purply looking!
