One pane of the double glass in recording and radio studios is tilted like that, I always assumed it's a sound proofing thing
Looking at the pictures of the green studio block, it looks as if the windows are slanted inwards, is this right?

Strange thing about the NBC Today Beijing Olympic set-up was that the director was in NY at 30 Rock I believe. Each camera in Beijing was fibred back separately, and the vision mixing/direction took place in New York, with the output fibred back (at viewing quality only) for the talent to watch.
They are doing this more and more in the US - I believe the same 'fibre everything back to base separately' approach has also been used by a number of US broadcasters to cover political conventions. Saves a lot of money on travel/expenses, and means production teams can broadcast from the familiar, purpose-built galleries that they are used to.
Actually NBC News wasn't alone in doing this sort of thing. For selected events, the play-by-play and analysts were in 30 Rock watching via monitors. Bill Clement, one of the play-by-play men for NBC's coverage of the National Hockey League but he called Table Tennis from New York (it should be noted that he played the sport in high school and won a championship).
It always seemed like there was a component of NBC's Today coverage during the Olympics that was done from New York. Up until recently they left Ann Curry, the newsreader in New York and then she always threw to Athens/Torino/Beijing though I think she came out for Vancouver.
. Mind you they don't do things by half, their Olympic setup dwarfs everyone else too

Must be the first time ever that the headlines of the Ten were greeted with whoops, cheers and yelling, from an audience.

I think its just to do with presenting from big crowds, it just provides more clarity. Davina used to wear them during the earlier Big Brothers.
Also wonder why ITV seem to be using face mic's ( not sure if there've got a proper name) for tomorrows broadcast, Mary was also wearing one on the 6pm local news "join us tomorrow" preview, yet Mary and Alastair weren't wearing one for the News at 6:30 thought. Is it mearly a backup or are normal mic's not very good with the extreme nosie that will obvioulsy happen tomorrow? Haven't seem them on other channel's so far though.
