Looks great, just a shame World can't use it too. Sad

BTW, will World sport also come from Salford from Monday?


Why cant world use it?


To confirm - World will be on air from here too, but there is a secondary set for when broadcasts overlap.

So I guess we are to expect a rebranded "Sport Today" then... will the new studios be used for Sport Today during Sunday Night's Newsday, or will they only begin use after 8am on Monday UKT?

Are we to also assume that the NC bulletins will use the smaller set when "Sport Today" is airing Live on World.

I'm not sure on the exact studio arrangements, but yes all News Channel and World sport output has been rebranded to re-align itself with the main BBC Sport brand. It first goes live as of Monday 8.45 GMT as far as I'm aware.

Lots of comments on new set on Kavin Bakhurst's Twitter.

Kevin received a tweet asking:

what abt WHYS Sports and WN Sports - all coming from salford?


He replied:

yes - not starting monday though


Is he wrong? Since Amelia Harris tweeted about doing World on Monday, surely he is.

From what I hear, the basic News Channel and World Sport bullitens will be live from Salford on Monday, the WHYS Sports and additional programming will come from Salford in the near future once everyone has settled in.

Does anyone know what the plan is for the sports news within the BBC1 bulletins? Will they be presented from Salford or London - or will they drop the use of a sports news presenter?

I didn't think they still had sport presenters - can't say I've seen one for ages.

Anyone know what time SkyF1 launches on Friday? I want to record it, but not sure if I will catch the channel launch before the programmes start to set the recording.

I think the sports presenters only appear when the bulletin is a reasonable length but apparently they will come from Salford as well. All will be revealed over the next week I guess.

It's a shame we wont see the new Sports set in HD.

With all the excitment of that new studio, no one seems to have mentioned the fire alarm going off during Football Focus yesterday.
