Studio or set? BBC Hull opened its television news studio and gallery in 2005, the set was installed in 2009 - what noggin is referring to is the fact that the newer builds tend not to have purpose built studios but repurposed meeting rooms and office space, with soundproofed walls.
Leeds, Hull, Birmingham, TW, Norwich, Salford and Cambridge are simply that, offices that are left bare, basic lighting grids installed and a tiny size (Birmingham started life as a conference room, as the beeb originally planned an LDN style Midlands Today programme)
Hull's 'studio' is a triangular shaped space shoved into the corner of the Queens Gardens building. The building was designed as retail space but the Beeb took three floors.
Luck ULL was shoehorned in above the radio studios. Lots of space (& money) was wasted by the open centre. Helen Thomas wanted some decorative lumps stuck on the support columns which always reminded me of Tic Tac sweets. Thankfully this area has been decluttered of this rubbish and can now be used for Look Hull reports.
Hull has had its studio since April 2009 the 2004-2009 set was better. Norwich well they put a sofa in. Cambridge hasn’t been changed.
