Changes to BBC Parliament & Political Programming

Ridge on Sunday on Sky News will start at nine when it returns on the 9th September.

Picture of the new Politics Live set :

Completely getting rid of the soft set era of the DP.

Very Morning Joe from the US

Well, the old screens with a digital altered background would have looked great, instead an oddly murky screen print...

..and looks like 'Reith' will take a very long time to reach Millbank, once (eventually) released to roam around the NCA department.

How very Barco 2008.

Looks quite nice. Hope this is the beginning of a refresh of their wider political coverage (including elections). Will also be interesting to see how it fits branding-wise alongside the rest of News.

That’s a very odd pose.

Here's a higher resolution version of that image:



EDIT: It appears that Jo Coburn's Twitter profile image is a different picture, with another image (seemingly accidentally) faintly overlaid.



EDIT 2: The difference in alignment between the logo and Elizabeth Tower between the two images suggests that it isn't a screen print as suggested earlier, but may be a display of some kind with scrolling logos?

Yay, N6 lives on!

In one of the refit Twitter posts there was a substantial frame installed, so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a screen.

It seems strange that they have gone from a circular set to a square one, the opposite of what the rest of BBC News is doing.

Not really, a bit of variation never did any harm, and besides it’s not a generic BBC News programme. Colour schemes and other things can tie a brand together just as well as having a circular wall in a studio.
