Anyone have any idea of the exact location of TV Centre. It's certainly somewhere around the Northern areas of the MetroCentre, and overlooking the Tyne. I've seen some buildings which looked similar to a building seen on the North East Tonight report about it near the MetroPark West area, near the roundabout which leads to the Car/Coach route and the MetroCentre train station. Alternatively it could be in the business park directly behind the train station. Or is it somewhere else?
Oh, and it's not certain that a London style set will be brought in, TTTV has a set design division (they also made Lookaround's set), which although nothing special, looks better than London Tonight's set. I can't see Mike in that sort of environment somehow - no full size desk??? I'd really like to see something along the lines of Tyne Tees South, essentially just blue colours on the wall and a glass partition with the gallery behind. It's been the same since Bilsdale opened, and works well.

Really, that looks better than anything that's come from ITV London. Images from ttlp.org.uk
for how much longer will tttv have their own set design people? with no regional shows, north east tonight's style and content decided at itn in london ... the future looks bleak.
I was told by someone that they did external work as well - apparently the same reason applies to the website - not so sure how long they will last because even if that information is true I bet ITV Plc. will try their hardest to close it down. At least Signpost BSL is continuing.

I can't see Tyne Tees getting the new studio until they move to their new Television Centre in Gateshead this summer.
