I'm sure there were other factors at play rather than just the gallery equipment being better in Cambridge. Norwich probably has a higher amount of Look East staff working at it and would be considered as a more central location in the East region. 

I am quite surprised however that the Norwich set and gallery weren't some of the first to be upgrade when both rollout programmes began. Viewers in the former West region are now getting a worse programme both in terms of editorial content but also in terms of production standards. 

Norwich is clearly the region in the biggest need of a new set and gallery, but it doesn't seem like either of those will be upgraded anytime soon. In terms of funding, does each region have to get together the money for these upgrades or does the wider BBC pay for them?

I'm pretty sure the work to upgrade Norwich to HD has already started, at least in part. They went off air for a weekend in early June, which was cited as being related to an eventual HD upgrade. There are probably numerous points in the chain which all need work done. But there is a timeline for both HD and new sets to roll out to all the regions.

EDIT - Sorry, I took my sweet time writing that. Didn't see the prior post! Great news!
