When did they put it up, overnight ?
And also didnt the mational news add some red to the studio just before the relounch. Maybe they are seeing what it looks like before they add it permenantly for a new look studio in the new year?

I hope BBC News 24 goes to a new studio, it's been virtually the same since 1998!

Looking at these images (cheers mdta!) you can see that these changes are a great improvement - the china red looks so much better than the dull completely-cream walls!

Did they do this overnight? Or did somebody at BBC News realise they had loads of China Red paint left after painting the newsroom and paint it during Breakfast to get rid of the paint?

Now...how many times did I mention paint? Lol! Smile

It may be a silly question but do they use special paints?

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question BUT, if all the cameras used on the N24 set are remote controlled, why are the two screen shots above not taken from exactly the same angle? Does this mean that the cameras don't move to exactly the same position every time? Do they 'creep' across the stage floor? Do they have to be occationally reset?

Also, can the cameras be adjusted remotely from the gallery as sometimes you see the camera angle being slowly corrected when, for example, the presenter slumps over the desk and/or then sits up striaght.

Cheers,
Peter.

I hope this page might give you a better idea of how the N24 studio works.

And apparently there may be more changes to come:

She [BBC One Controller Lorraine Heggessey] also hinted she may plan further cosmetic changes to the BBC's news programmes to make them more accessible.

'The look of the news is not always warm,' she said. 'We need to think about style, tone and pace. I know I can rely on you to get the content right.'

At the same forum, the director general, Greg Dyke, talked of the need for a programme to provide analysis and background to the news.

'We're still short of a TV vehicle for analysis, for going behind the big story,' he said, hinting the BBC may be mulling over the possibility of creating new current affairs programmes.

The corporation has come under fire in recent years for marginalising its current affairs programmes. Panorama was moved from its traditional Monday slot to Sunday evenings.

Richard Sambrook, the BBC's director of news - who last week spoke of the 'demographic timebomb' of declining interest in news - also spoke of the need to find different 'voices and flavours' for different news programmes.

'The Six O'Clock News shouldn't be the same as the Ten O'Clock News,' he said. 'Difference is health, difference is good.'
