My understanding of that article is that they will stay in Studio C, which is in the basement , even after April 3, and then move to the new look studio E after it's finished, in a few months.

This would be my reading too - C as interim studio, E as permanent (likely from the autumn).

I did not realise all news was in the basement if nbh.

For radio Studio WL1 is Radio 2 overnight bulletins
WL2 is Radio 4 it seems. I understood they were in the basement too.

And the main news studio the article refers to is which studio? C or E or another?

All news isn't in the basement, though the extent depends how you define basement - the main newsroom floor and Studio E are one floor below ground level, with Studios A-D two floors below that. I don't think there are any radio studios in the basement, they are on the upper floors.

I'd say yes to that but make it up to Midnight making it 9:00am-midnight 7 days a weeks.

Even within your history of 'proposals', this has a tenuous grasp of the reality of the situation. There is literally zero chance of managers going 'OK, our big idea to solve BBC News' funding problem failed, let's reverse eight years of BBC News cuts'. That's just not going to happen under any scenario.
