I hear that Kay Alexander of Midlands Today fame will present it from a bamboo chair...

Isn't the raised level hiding a concrete step in the studio? I'm sure that area was raised on programmes that have been in that studio before.


According to the studio plan there is a raised area around the entire window perimeter.

One can assume that'll be the housing for the windows, and for protection too. Surely that raised area can't be as high as the current level though...? It's far too high!

The current main pres area is still way underused IMO. Would be nice if they, at the TOTH, could try a sweep of the studio with the jib, and come to the presenters standing at the window with St Pauls in the background, and if they can do a wide enough shot too, try and include during the sweep one of the panels with the Daybreak logo illuminated.

From looking at that, I'm guessing that they built to the very edges of the studio, and don't have the fire lane, for the fact that the doors to the 'lobby' can be seen in the studio.

It is a very interesting shape for a studio, and very tricky to see what could be done in terms of 'areas' to present from.

Take a look at this shot whilst the studio was in construction...

Are the left hand panels covered in blue film to block out light, or is that what can be achieved through this windowed technology?
If windowed technology, wouldn't this have been a better thing to do rather than yellow blinds, and have the coloured LED panels in front? Couldn't the blue also be lit to make it more purple?

In their normal state, the windows are actually blue. It is only when you put power through them that they become transparent. Not sure of the technical lingo mind you !

I am thinking that it needs to be raised anyway so that half of the tv picture doesn't show the 'balcony' and that more of the view can be seen.

Daybreak and Lorraine staff absorbed by ITVS

Production teams on Daybreak and Lorraine have been absorbed by ITV Studios as part of plans to improve working practices.

Staff on the morning shows were briefed about the move today, which will see ITV Breakfast become part of ITVS.

The production teams will report into Fiona Keenaghan, ITVS’s creative director of daytime and lifestyle, whereas previously the ITV Breakfast entity effectively reported into Alison Sharman, the commercial broadcaster’s director of factual and daytime.

It is understood that there will not be any job losses as a result of the change and that Daybreak’s senior management team, including editor Ian Rumsey, will remain in place.

ITV’s director of television Peter Fincham told staff this morning that the transition will take place over the next few months.

It is designed to combine production expertise and allow Daybreak to benefit from ITVS’s experience in producing programmes such as The Jeremy Kyle Show.

“This proposed change is about sharing the best of our daytime production expertise with the aim to strengthen the ongoing collaboration between the ITV Breakfast’s production team and the wider ITV family,” a spokesman said.

It follows ITV’s move to incorporate Daybreak into the network news team in March this year and is a continuation of the “one ITV” strategy, which is being championed by the broadcaster’s senior management

Or even the facts.

What you're saying is simply incorrect.

Isn't it that the glass turns more opaque when electricity is passed through the film on it? That's what they do during musical performances in front of the video wall.
