Some caps of the CTV set - a decent sized space to work with.

Aside from the small office block at the top of the building, the IBC doesn't have any windows.

The second week schedule is out now and during the week they drop Deal or No Deal, but keep Come Dine with Me and The Simpsons, then Hollyoaks and the news. Interestingly though coverage will continue during these programmes on C4 HD.

At the weekend C4 takes a half hour break for news at 6.30pm, but otherwise it's Paralympics all day, with racing moving to More4. 4Seven will also air a nightly audio described highlights show at of 1.05am, repeated at 6.05am on C4.

Ah - so C4 HD ceases to be a simulcast of C4 at points - not sure that has happened before has it?

Oh that's interesting! I suppose it makes sense - although More4 HD exists on the online feed, it's not yet an actual channel, is it? Odd to see the reverse when it's normally a HD channel -not- showing something!

I'm still surprised that Channel 4 didn't use the Big Breakfast House (Loch Keepers Cottage) for their Paralympic Coverage!

I'm not Worzel. The might as well be in a fully equipped TV studio with no view of the Olympic Park, than one that isn't fully equipped with a very poor view. There is no more reason for Channel 4 to use it than there was the BBC.

I've really gone off that Channel 4 font.
