the great big BBC News studio shuffle

Indeed they do

Well, they would have had two weeks by then! It will hopefully be done.

Plus, it would be the perfect way to re-introduce Sophie to the 1.

Of course the real question is: if Broadcasting House only comes in stream in 2011/2012, will the current about-to-be-launched look have enough longevity in it to last for anything up to six years?!

Perhaps a minor tweaking will take place along with News 24 in three years time, similar to the National Lambie-Nairn alterations in 2001.

I suspect many people here have seen them - but to divulge that kind of information would be far from professional.

Does anybody know if the set would be revolutionary or evolutionary? I see no reason why to update, b/c i quite like the current set with all the glowy white and red.

I'm sure it'll be both. And Blue

I think it will continue with the white and red theme. These colours are now associated with BBC News, and it would be a mistake to remove them. Plus some BBC regions, plus BBC World, only relaunched with the corporate look last year. Plus the red and white is still very modern.

I think it's safe to say you can expect some changes to Breakfast but as noggin said I would be shot if I told you anymore

I never really get the secrecy surrounding inside knowledge on this site. Can understand if your real identity is known (e.g. NickyS) but not so with anonymous members of staff who post here.

I'm really not that fussed about knowing what the national set is like to be honest- national bulletins are are entering a long and protracted death that will eventually see total News 24 control, but that's another story.

However, the set design is neither confidential, sensitive or remotely of relevance to anyone other than those interested in TV presentation. If there is a BBC press release on the day the new set launches, it will be about new presenters (Raworth on the 1) or structure changes (new format for Breakfast). It won't be about the new set.

All in all therefore, I really don't see the big issue with insiders revealing knowledge anonymously.

Nobody will really care.

Doesn't matter if we don't tell you then.

Obviously employees are duty bound to their contracts and loyalty to their work place is important, especially if they are well known, Nicky for example as you touched upon, Dunedin.

However I'm also suspisious that under all this, mainly in regards to anonymous members with "insider knowledge", that it is simply more fun for them, possibly being on a power trip, knowing something that others don't. But if this is the only way they can get their kicks in life, from an internet forum rather than getting thrills in the real world, so be it!

I am guessing, and could be completely wrong, but what with Ford's final bulletin coming up this Thursday, and Sophie taking over the helm of the One after the bank holiday weekend, I would not be surprised if May 2nd is the date for at least some of the changes to air, if not all.

It's irrelevent if it's someone using a real name or a psudonym - it's still confidential information. At the end of the day it's in all employees interest not to give away non-public information abut their employer. And acting 'in the interest of' the employer is normally written into employment contracts.

I know lots of sensitive and confidential stuff about my employer but no matter how much I thought that 'nobody would care' I wouldn't disclose it in public (especially on the internet particually TV Forum) because there are a small bunch of people who really would like to know - our rivals.

It's the same with those at the BBC
