The CSO effect doesn't seem to be too bad - it's the lighting that's the problem. Get that sorted and I think we'd be hard pressed to tell the difference! Very Happy

So if N24 is going 'virtual' tomorrow, it'll mean they've got two sets of studios stored. I can just imagine a newsreader reading a story and the backdrop suddenly flips from N24 to World studio Laughing


That's what i've been thinking. Given News 24's record for mistakes, during the next six weeks it will defentely not be a surprise if the CSO fails one way or another, either if the wrong backdrop is displayed, or if it fails completely, and all you see is the blue/green colour behind them!

It happened occasionally in 2001 when Sky News had a temporary set for a month or two, with the CSO used for the fake newsroom backdrop displaying the wrong source, such as an OB on one occasion, so you had the presenter sitting in front of someone standing up ready to report.

At least it would look better. Laughing

I think it could be that TC10 is a training studio, and therefore isn't designed for long periods of use, so at weekends it won't be used, and N9 and N6 will for News 24 and World respectively.

Also, if I remember correctly, isn't TC10 one of the old national news studios, with TC11 being the other I think (TC11 is the studio for Liquid News, 7 O`Clock News, 60 Seconds).


Indeed it is. TC10 used to be known as N1 and until 1998 was the home of BBC World Service Television.

What confused me is why BBC World is getting all the crap, having to move into a fake studio to cater for News 24, News 24 is only UK, BBC World is the world... why not stick News 24 in a fake News 24 Studio, leaving BBC One and BBC World alone?

Any real reason for this?

I think BBC World's set has had enough revamps, I don't think it needs one at the moment!

I agree, but at the end of the day, BBC News 24 is a licence payer's channel, therefore taking automatic priority over BBC World, which is only there really to make profit.

BBC World is not continuous news. It is 5min and 30min bulletins with other feature programmes like Holiday and Top Gear. When they do do Full hour bulletins they are usually simulcast if World has moved from their studio.

BBC News 24 needs a full set all the time, so they should be given priority when it comes to Sets etc...

TC11 is one of the most advanced studios in the studio or so claimed The Morning Show's website.

Don't forget Celebdaq comes from there aswell.

Also N24 don't have a presentation suite, therefore they need a gallery like World's for the whole channel to operate!

Why the bad CSO then?


news 24 is in the world studio, the world studio used the national news studio but now they use a CSO


That doesn't really answer the question now, does it?
I can understand World moving to a CSO studio for the 1700 bulletin, but the National studio is free until 2200, so why have they stuck with the dodgy CSO? Please don't tell me that this is what News 24's home will look like for the next 6 weeks..


Putting World in there for this evening will give them a chance to test everything is working before News24 goes live tomorrow morning at 9. If there is a problem tonight they can fix it while world is off air. They can also tweak the lighting etc. If News24 was in there then, having no pres area to fall back on, they have no chance of coming off air to fix problems.

And don't expect these weekend arrangments to be the same every week.
