No - World News has also been taking B since 9am. Studio B has been used for rolling news before, double headed like it is currently and in News style.
Although when it was previously used, one presenter used the internal PC rather that two laptops.

Has Studio B ever been used for rolling news before? I appreciate that they're probably only in there because it was staffed and ready to go for VD, which still appeared on the EPG until about 8:30 this morning.
The desk doesn't seem to contain screens, so the presenters are having to use laptops, which doesn't look as good.
I assume WN has gone their own way in Studio C?

I hate to say it. But France24 IMO is awful or rather very slow and lumbering when it comes to rolling breaking news coverage. 30-45 after this happened or at least when all the majors NC's were in rolling coverage, I turned to France24. They had a pretaped discussion about the Brexit and a only banner at the bottom. Fine I get it that they operate on a shoe string and maybe rolling coverage of a international story, might be a stretch. But since the channel launched I noticed even French stories they are extremely slow to get on. Charlie Hebdo, Paris and other national stories it took ages for them to actually get going. BFMTV is fantastic. Smooth, quick and all over the place. I can see why they are #1. It will be interesting to see the BFM Paris News channel and how they cover the capital.

What makes you think they don't already? I think Sky use Dejero, I've a feeling the BBC tested it but decided it wasn't worth pursuing.
There are a couple of issues to consider. Whilst the apps themselves may be very low cost the majority of them require custom servers at the receive end. Most of these costs several thousand pounds and only allow a certain number of connections. So you've got to have a good deal of certainty that you've picked the 'right' one before you invest too heavily in it. To get a Facetime or Skype call on the air requires a few bits of off the shelf hardware you can put together for less than £1000, the apps are free and just about everyone will have them.
Dejero relies on bonding wifi and cell connections together. So you need some available wifi (or a Mifi on another network) to make the most if it. LiveU & WMT require multiple SIMs and (really) at least a Semi-Pro camera. If all you've got is an iPhone with its one 4G connection you're only going to get a slight improvement over Skype or Facetime.
I wonder if one day media organizations may encourage their journalists to install the apps from LiveU, Dejero and the like for better quality reports from the scene.

BFMTV surprisingly were at the BBC speed of breaking news last night, waiting for official confirmation before the death figures were increased. Normally BFMTV are big, brash and tabloid with these stories, but were very measured. i>Télé, the Canal+ owned channel which recently went on strike yesterday were all over it with lives and information.

That is an Understatement for France24.
