I really hope they will re-introduce the skyline backdrops when they soft launch the new channel. IMO the skyline backdrops will make so much more sense, as it'll allow them to emphasize the location of the bulletins being produced.
The London skyline backdrops do work really well in studio C, but no doubt they were dropped from World when the NC & World started simulcasting much more often from C, because the BBC is terrified of being seen as being 'London centric' when broadcasting news programmes to UK audiences.
(Even though Joe public knows that BBC Network news comes from........ London )
That said though, considering the new sets in Belfast and Nottingham (and presumably the rest of the new regional ones) are based on having skyline backgrounds, it could be something they're moving towards across BBC News.
As for the London centric thing, that may be less of a concern given the new news channel will be primarily geared towards an international audience.
