RTL Hungary has moved its news operation to a new HQ in downtown Budapest this week. The new premises include a new studio used for all infotainment shows.

The main "sitting area" of the new set is an updated version of the previous one, extended with a 10-meter-wide LED wall.

The opening titles and on-screen graphics remained largely the same and were only modified as much as necessary to adapt them to the new set. However, it's a temporary solution: News, Weather, and Fókusz will get new visual branding sometime in the future.

The new studio premiered today in Híradó, where they said goodbye to the old studio and switched to the new one during the first story.

I am a little bit disappointed, I was expecting something fresher and more state-of-the-art. While the channel's on-screen design is based on the square-cornered logo and simplicity, in the new set almost every element is rounded. I think RTL Deutschland did a better job of finding the consistency.
