Yep - but different bits of the BBC often think and want different things.
The relationship between BBC channel controllers and BBC News is an interesting one. Unlike other programmes on BBC One and Two the channel controller does not have a total say on the News - in effect the controller of News also has a lot of control... Effectively BBC One/Two handover a chunk of their channel to News, for News to fill with the programmes they chose. They obviously meet to discuss what the various controllers want for their channels, but the News management also have quite a lot of say as well, as they could disagree strongly with some channel controllers! (Though I doubt this is the case in this situation)
This is particularly the case for Breakfast, which is not solely broadcast on a single channel... The controllers of BBC One and News 24 both have to agree on the look and style etc...
The move to a common 'Lambie-Nairn' look for News was spearheaded by the Head of News at the time, Tony Hall, and the nations and regions also signed up to it as well. It was a news-driven thing, rather than a channel (BBC One/Two) thing...
Now that BBC One want a different look for their shows, it doesn't mean it will definitely happen instantly, as News management will also have to consider the implications, as they are more directly responsible for the One/Six/Ten... Then again the different programme editors will also have different views on how they want their programme to look...

Lets get this into perspective.
This doesnt mean a non corporate BBC News look, it means that not all the BBC ONE and BBC TWO bullitins should look the same.
This could mean new music for the 10 o clock news with different camera views, or it could mean a new studio for the 6 o clock bullitin.
We will see Beige and Red still just different sets or themes used etc.
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,

The cameras are remotley controlled by the director. They can pan from side to side, tilt up and down, move up and down, and focus. Each director will set the camara slightly different depending on their own preferances. The cameras also have to be physically moved when they are used with the second set. They are not always put back in exactly the same position.

Well I was at the event where Lorraine H spoke about News - I think she was talking more about style and content as well as say sets. So the 6 can be more popular than say the 10 ... you already see it happens. She was also talking about making news more accessable ... like Andrew Marr making politics more friendly and fun than say other do ... like mentioning Bob The Builder in his script which he did a few weeks ago.
However having said that I don't think she was a huge fan of the corporate look .... but then she didn't have a good word to say about the balloons either.

I can't think why but I don't like that Lorraine Hedgehog woman.

Are the camera positions talked about those on N24 or for the national studio as well for UK Today?
How do the N24 crew manage to turn the cameras round for the other set and back or are they fixed for both positions??
