Is that a view of Elland Road?

And do they vary between regional football stadia (Bramall Lane, Hillsborough, the KC Stadium etc.)?

What do people think about the Soccer Night set? Does it look to be a seperate set, or one of the Calendar ones very cleverly redressed?

http://www.rp-networkservices.com/tvforum/uploads/soccernightytv.jpg


General ITVplc trends would suggest that they wouldn't have a totally separate studio/set for the footy programme if they can possibly help it, so am am inclined to suspect that it's a redressed Calendar set.

Seeing as all Calendar News short bulletins are pan-regional, presumably on any given day, one of the two studios/sets only gets used once a day (i.e. for its particular sub-regional variant of the 6pm programme). Well, there'd be no reason for the various pan-regional short bulletins to keep swapping studios across the course of one day, now would there?

Therefore, the extreme re-dressing needed to give the result pictured above would not be a great headache for crew. It's not like it has to be back to normal by 10:30pm that night or anything - they've got until at least Friday afternoon to "un-footy" the set again!

I'd go with that as well. It's a very good re-dress though, some regions just stick some different chairs in and recolour the lights a bit

They did used to have a seperate set last season, but that was obviously before the studio was split into 2

In other news, BBC Radio Leeds' Clive Settle appeared as a guest on the late Look North. First time he's been on TV as far as I'm aware, so listeners got to put a familar voice to a face


Any particular reason for Clive's appearance?

It looks like Yorkshire make more effort with their Soccer Night studio than ITV Wales do for Soccer Sunday. We just get the Wales Tonight studio with a different colour. We dont even get to see the backdrop.

Calendar West has now got a 'window' image in the background, replacing the usual generic graphics

It wouldn't be an image of Leeds would it?

It did strike me as odd that the new Calendar (South/East) had a "window" right from launch, whilst North/West didn't introduce one to coincide.

South/East seems to have been using a fair amount of variation between "window" and graphics on their projector.

Was that just a comprise, whilst the other studio/set was still being windowless, I wonder? (i.e. so that the South/East "window " didn't seem quite so out of place, in relation to pan-regional bulletins) In which case, the South/East "window" might now become more permenant?

Or alternatively, perhaps both versions of the programme will now have a variable "window"/graphics scenario?

I think the Central West scenario is best. It's a "window" 99% of the time, and only lapses into illustrative grahics for really major stories (e.g. when the fox-hunting debate was going on) and/or special features (e.g. ITV's Britain On The Move campaign, etc)
