A has always looked quite bad, amateurish and nowhere near as good as BBC Sport’s virtual sets.
C used to look very good with the London skyline backdrop, but looks absolutely terrible with the fake newsroom backdrop. It has also started to wear out, one would assume, from near-constant use for over a decade.

He's not aware of any cuts to BBC News operations, and only knows about the merger of the NC and World cos I've told him about it.(24-02-2023, 01:15 PM)EverythingFavs Wrote: Mad that E won't be used again....

Think of it this way: No sensible organisation is going to spend a million pound refitting a studio at the same time as its just disposed of a huge number of staff, and is expecting a backlash from public/media over the changes.

As far as he's concerned, BBC 1 bulletins have a shiny new studio, the BBC 1 bulletins are the same quality as they've always been, if not better thanks to studio B, and even Wales Today has a shiny new studio. Outside of the media industry bubble and forums like this, don't assume that the wider public are aware of, or even care about, the deep cuts happening to BBC News away from the protected status of domestic BBC 1 bulletins.

True to an extent, but in a era when a sick day for Lorraine can generate 10s of stories and hundreds of thousand clicks it's naive to think it's not an issue to cut jobs and spend money on 'flatter screens' screens turned sideways and smaller wheels on the cameras (as it could be simply written to explain to a 69 year old) BBC Waste! Outrage!
