Norway
The Norwegian BBC, NRK, has made a revamp of all their news outlet today. I find it looks very good - perhaps even better than BBC News

Here is the latest programme NRK Kveldsnytt from 2300 (CET): NRK KVeldsnytt

Here is the main news programme, NRK Dagsrevyen, 1900 (CET):

That's something RTE should do, it's a small set, but it's nice.

Very nice indeed - ideal for the likes of RTÉ. The music is too post-modern though IMO but otherwise it looks impressive.

I remember being in Norway, the family I was staying with purposely put it on TV2 because their King was having a get together in the London with the Queen.

Very nice indeed - bright, clean and modern.

Very nice, everything seems to fit together nicely. The music is quite understated compared to british themes. Lovely.

What do they use the sky news style pod (to the left of the studio) for?

Interesting - clean graphic look and simply done. Set feels a bit cold and distancing to me though.

Like the thick glass or acrylic desk - but too much blue for me.

Not too keen on the set, but the graphic look is nice and the music is really good.

Also interesting to see they're using the full 16:9 frame. When I visited Scandinavia last year I noticed a lot of terrestrial TV was in full letterbox.

I think RTÊ did that people on these forums would call for heads. Its not overly impressive and quite unprofessional, the sets nice but doesn't really have a purpose, the graphics are poor to say the least and the reports don't look overly inspring either.

Hmm - I saw a couple of Swedish shows initially try and use the full 16:9 frame, and then suddenly everything started coming in from the edges and became a lot more 4:3 safe...

AIUI 16:9 letterbox is more popular on analogue (and 14:9 no longer used - if it ever was - in some countries) - however the issue of 4:3 centre cut output from digital set-top boxes feeding 4:3 (and incorrectly set-up for 16:9) TVs is still an issue.

It's used for sportsnews and weatherpresentation, and i think it might be used for guests aswell.
