Looks like Newsnight is loving to studio 34D for the election period.

I like how 34D has the traditional studio look of BBC News but has a mix of freshness.

I havent seen the interview in full but from the clips I have seen Emily Maitlis did a hell of a job,

The pre-recorded nature probably helped but she actually let the subject answer their questions rather than continually interupting them and cutting them off. Reports suggest Prince Andrew ended the interview thinking it had gone really well - it hadn't.
Stuart, Jeffmister and London Lite gave kudos

Definitely she gave Andrew time and space to answer. Any good interviewer would do that.

34D is looking very nice there dressed in the Newsnight election livery. It's obviously much smaller than B, so no sweeping shots for a while.

I guess much of it is possibly light boxes, but I wonder whether that large screen in the centre is LED, so they can show other graphics.

EDIT:
BBC Arabic look as though they are still in their usual studio today at the 0700 TOTH

I could understand why pre-News 24 by-election or local election coverage might have been branded a Newsnight special (though AFAIK Dimbleby never hosted Newsnight itself) but the budget in mid-afternoon on BBC1 makes no sense.


The budget used to be branded under the Nationwide and Sixty Minutes banners, and when they ended it became a Newsnight special, as the flagship current affairs programme.

Newsworthy though this interview was, it was totally unsuitable for Saturday night BBC1, especially during a period where numerous other programmes are being punted out of the way for election coverage. Nice to see the traditional law of fantasy scheduling on internet forums present and correct, where absolutely everything is a reason to drop either Casualty or The One Show.

From what I’ve seen the large screen in the middle (and the ones going behind it) are LED.

Emily Maitlis did an interview interestingly from the CBS News London Bureau as opposed to BBC’s NBH from a DTL. Does anyone know how far the two locations are? The interview would have occurred at 12pm in London so maybe it was on her way in as she’s on the late shift?

Although so many don't.

I believe CBS are in Chiswick Park, a business park that's home to quite a few media companies. Fox News are moving there too, if they haven't already.

Presumably the easy access to Heathrow Airport is an incentive for US broadcasters to move there? QVC's UK channel is also based there.

That is a plus, though it's otherwise a modern office park with room for studios, apparatus rooms, and good connectivity. Other tenants include Red Bee (for ITV), Discovery (now including Eurosport, who have recently moved from Feltham), Encompass, and a couple of foreign news channels.

OS have just shown a brief clip of Emily Maitlis's appearance on CBS.
