Broadcasting House, Salford Quays & TVC

Great photos and you're right, definitely worth looking on Flickr for this hidden gems! The latest pictures are just incredible!

It is the honour of the BBC Burmese Service to broadcast first this Sunday for the first time from Broadcasting House. It's all starting to come together now!

It really is such a huge, breaktaking and astonishing space looking through the newest photos on Flickr.

Perhaps a 'nice view' can be found on one of the three unpictured sides of the studio?

Assuming this photograph shows the same radio setup, the view from the opposite side seen in the first photograph is quite promising:

Incidentally, the camera seen in the first photograph is also pointing towards that area.

Surely the angle of the camera and lights suggest it would be pointing the other direction? Besides, it's hard to see how the Studio E we've seen as that glass box pointing at the main newsroom would leave us with a view like that.

Surely that's not Studio E but the one you had the image of a few further down in the post, the backup/anything can use one?

Indeed the camera view is clearly this:

Other than the "Artist Impressions" posted by Bogaboy in the World News thread we have not seen any images of the main 5 news studios.

This:


and this:


are quite obviously this...

^^ Good discovery. So it's not World nor BBC London.

So it is a multi-purpose TV studio for the World Service language services to use for videos on their website if they want to?

For example, BBC Turkish does a daily news programme on their website.

Indeed, well done on piecing that together. It's reassuring to know that particular set will not play a major role within BBC's news operations, it is certainly not up to the standard I would expect for BBC World - as some here had suggested it was to be used for. Here's hoping we see those recently posted studio renders accurately brought to life!

It's a shame the recent batch of pictures do not show the studio located on the newsroom level, despite there being several photos of the newsroom itself. Seeing the desks assembled and the feature lighting on makes it look even more impressive than in previous pictures, it will certainly look fantastic on screen.

Pardon me if you were making a different point, but the cameras in those two pictures are not the same. The one in the radio image is labelled as '3', whilst the one visible in the above image is tagged as '2'.

They may well be in the same studio however, as the large plasma in the photo of the set shows a video feed with the photographer in frame, which clearly must be coming from a different camera.

I thought it was John Humprey's voice on the alarm sound!

Hopefully they'll use this studio for items like 'Meet the Author' when they don't have access to another studio, rather than the current setup sometimes used in the newsroom.
