Broadcasting House, Salford Quays & TVC

IIRC BBC London (the TV bit at least) are in a temporary location in Broadcasting House at the moment until their permanent facilities are ready.

Ah makes sense.

I seem to remember that they're currently a bit on the ground floor of the new wing which will eventually be used for exhibitions and public events?

Was the set intended to only be used for a few years whereas some of the regions sets are designed to be used for much longer?

That studio looks so asthetically ready it suggests it can't be long before London moves in there, that is if it is London's studio.

It looks rather short of lighting fixtures to me. I'd also guess that even if it was ready, you wouldn't want to move in while there's still people working just down the corridor / on the floor above fitting doors or other jobs involving noise. There would probably also be issues involving phone lines, networking and other building services and their availability until everything is handed over properly. Wouldn't be a good thing if a system like ENPS went down halfway through a bulletin because someone working elsewhere in the building thought a particular system wasn't being used / connected, or just needed to move a router and had to turn it off for a couple of minutes...

AFAIK it's not London ... remember a lot of new output will be coming from the new BH especially when BBC World Service move in

Could it be World's new set? Looks a lot like the current one, it has all the same elements. Plus if they're moving before domestic it would make sense to already have an almost finished set.
But then again that seems like a real newsroom behind and World is supposed to be in a closed studio, if that's correct.

Courtesy of 'thegeek' a few pages back:





Is there a newsroom/ office area 'sub-basement'? Because if there isn't, this picture doesn't fit with the above list. It's clearly not Studios A or B (it's effectively adapted office space, not something I'd describe as 'big' and 'flexible'), but it's anyone's guess which of the others it is. I'd always assumed Studios C and D were proper studios, though, and it doesn't look like the ' Studio E' that's a squared-off section of the main newsroom.

SCOOP !



Cant see the news studio we've seen in the other image, so where is it?

The studio's on the left hand side of the picture, in between the two colums.

have you been living under a rock... this studio...
