oooh how exciting, are they moving further into the news center considering the 'makeover' it's been given? Seems strange why they're doing it now when only a few weeks ago they were giving the existing news24 set a 'break' and enhancing the lighting etc.
Anyway should be good to see the finished result (and to see more of the world newsroom...

Very interesting. What's this set supposed to look like then? I take it that it's just going to be an enhancement of the current set and not a totally new set? Methinks those red panels are going to go and they're going to open up the newsroom at the back of it. I don't think there was anything really wrong with the present studio that required it to be changed, the national studio is another matter. I think they're planning to follow Sky and open up the place while still keeping those glass panels.

don't get excited ... it's not a new News 24 set! The work is happening in World land!

Eh?
But World have only just had a new set FFS!

I was under the impression that the World studio would change, the national and then N24. How odd.

Still, News 24 studio still looks nice.

So they're building a totally new set then? Is this set for a special programme, or what?

Why oh why does World need another set!? It's got two already!! News 24 has been gaging for one since 1999! Plus we actually pay for N24 wheras people round the world see World free!!

Does this mean that World will be similcasting in the N24 studio then, so we won't be seeing the World studio?

Maybe this is the new set for the new world news that will also be broacast on BBC 4. And I was also wondering whether they may use this for a 'different' 10 news???!!!!

Why would World need to have joint news bulletins with N24 if it is a new set being built. As far as I know, this new set is just for the evening news bulletin that will go out on BBC4 and BBC World, not for normal BBC World News, The World Today and other programmes broadcast from the World Studio.

Or is this new set in the same studio area as the BBC World News set? http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/confused.gif

According to the listings, Brenda Paterson is scheduled to replace Peter Coe this weekend on Sunday morning. Now the last time Brenda was on when they were doing joints, she was replaced by the World presenter - could this mean Anita McNaught this time?? (please!!)
