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.

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.
