Isn't the studio in what was the bar?

I thought that Calendar had moved into a "proper" studio when they moved back to the main building, but that lighting grid looks pretty low.

No they moved into what was once the YTV bar. All the former studios were taken over by Emmerdale.

How about the generic backdrop for the set?

How does this east and west split work? I've never understood it. Is what I watch, 100% live, or are some parts pre-recorded?

That East backdrop looks considerably better than that dingy shot of Leeds. The framing is better too, seeing some of the white border below the black panel.

Ah there we go, a pretty poor cgi gallery view.

It's 20-minute split. One opt-out is pre-recorded, and second is live, depending on the day's news

I see, I live in South Yorkshire, so I see the West option

That generic newsroom / gallery backdrop is awful. All too dark. Whats with the red light between the presenters ?
