Why are they launching it on a Tuesday?

Because they'd have to pay more to Monday?

I'd speculate a full dry run, in effect two sets of teams running a dual service, with the normal output from Sky Centre using the B-Team on the Monday to iron out any issues.

Can't speak for Broadcast, but the wider business tends to launch bigger stuff on a Tuesday for safety (in other words... don't launch on a Friday in case something goes wrong at the weekend, and don't launch on a Monday or else you need to make sure stuff is lined up over the weekend). I assume going with Tuesday allows all the different moving parts to align.
That's been going for a few weeks already... not sure the extra Monday helps too much in that sense, although I suppose it does to a point, as above.

So no evening programs from the new studio? I thought it had been suggested that News at Ten would also come from the new studio.
Set will be used for sunrise and some weekend stuff, but I can now confirm that there will be NO soft area

Just Sunrise and possibly overnights I think

Ok so if this is the case this new studio won't be used for press previews then, that's a shame.

overnights for the last 4 nights have just been a repeat of the midnight hour

What's even more frustrating is that the desk is in that horrible old wonky position which gives us a fabulous view of... a corridor.
I really hoped we'd see those lovely swooping shots of Sky Central again but it doesn't look like it!
Kay did a couple of Instagrams from the glass box yesterday & it doesn’t look like it’s chsnged much, if at all. So it looks like it was out of action just for the technical changes into the new gallery to be carried out.
