Well I'm not sure why it's taken them so long (11 months?) to install a vertical screen & a touchscreen, when I could have done it in one afternoon.

Not sure about the vertical display and I thought the three catwalk monitors on the other side would have been upgraded to one continuous video wall. However, it is good to see Studio E back in action!

It sounds from what has been pieced together that the majority of the spend was on broadcast infrastructure - i.e. things you won't see. Bearing in mind the studio has infrastructure that was over 10 years old and it will be used in a different way to before, that will likely explain why even though there's only a few visible changes, it took as long as it did.

"Slicker, faster & modern" are not three words I'd use to describe BBC News at the moment.

Is it just me or does the presenter look poorly lit? It seems a bit dark to me.

What a shame about the Business Today branding but nothing unexpected given the state of BBC News in 2024. Bland and uninspired titles accompanied by recycled music from 11 years ago. Says it all really. I'm just glad I got to see the heyday of BBC News branding in the 90s, 00s and 10s because it's a shadow of its former self now.

I think what makes everything look all the more jarring is just how good sports news looks on the channel. Watching Sportsday right now - slick intro, varied presentation, good use of screens etc.

What’s the difference? Is sport better resourced? Surely workflows and staffing are just the same.

As ever, the updated pres/studio is nothing particularly exciting. The updates are fine, but ultimately Studio E has good bones so would take a lot of work to make it look awful, even if they have put in a curiously narrow monolith on one side of the desk and then a much smaller landscape screen on the other side.

Either way, it’s not the abject disaster that some on here are making it out to be - there are a couple of posters who I’m not sure I’ve ever seen express a positive opinion in the decade or longer they’ve been on the forum!

That said, it is a shame that expectations around the presentation of the BBC News Channel are so low these days. They’re just coming to end of what I think has been a really successful program to get the regional studios up to scratch, so it’s disappointing that, at the same time, they’ve allowed the quality of the news channel to drop so significantly. Ever since the UK and World channels have merged it’s felt like they’ve slowly been reintroducing some of the nice elements that were abruptly dropped at the point of merger, like having more than two camera shots across a 30 minute bulletin and using the flipper properly. As such, what’s often badged as ‘progress’ by some at the BBC is actually just them managing to get themselves back to a position they were already in a year ago!

Now that E is back in use it would be nice if D could be used for UK opts instead of the balcony. BBC London could still use it for their lunchtime bulletin, which should be easier once the One becomes an hour long.

It would also be nice if A could be brought back into use, along with C getting an update. Probably best designed as multipurpose studios, so that either News Channel or World Service programmes could utilise those studios. It seems daft for them to be sitting empty, whilst I believe some studios in other parts of Broadcasting House are essentially converted office space.

Maybe a project for Erron when he starts his new role overseeing all London news studios.
