Just shows that the bland glass box needs to go and they need to build a newsroom/set like before the glass box days. How awesome does that studio look for Sophie’s show!! 🤩 Sky are really upping their game in terms of presentation and maximising talent on UK and international news now the BBC News Channel is hardly worth watching anymore.

Gosh that looks lovely. And the lighting and framing is perfect. Wonder if the Americans have been helping out?

Some similar wood panelling and screens outside the glass box would do wonders.

Lovely musical opening for Barbara Serra earlier.

Might be time to sell your shares in that company which for a few years seemed to make the chairs for all TV studios. Standing room only it seems.

Speaking as someone who wears both hats, the desires of pres nerds and the practicalities of day-to-day newsroom operations rarely intersect. 😉

In all seriousness, though, there'd be no way to construct a fully-fledged set in the current main newsroom without seriously impeding people's ability to do their jobs.

Well, I'm guess impeding the actual production of the news for a studio seems a bit counterintuitive ;-)

I think the glass box is fine as presentation space - it just needs an update, for example adding screens that wrap the walls behind, like the columns in Westminster and does redressing around the screen inside the studio - plus a new desk. Surely that would make a big difference will minimal impact?

Plus, with the newsroom studio at Millbank, the existing one that is apparently going to be refurbished, the glass box and studio 6, there's plenty of variety for presenting now. Plus there are the business studios.

The show branding on the screen looks a bit dodgy - almost looks like they've just slapped the logo there.

You can really see they are looking to be more slick and professional. Even more than before. BBC take note.

I will how it goes with this new studio. I’m not sure fully how it will gel with 6am. Perhaps too cold?!
