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.
Same reason the branding rollout hasn't coincided with studio B change.
Just as March is soft launch, expect more changes over next 12 months, probably under guise of extra politics coverage for pending UK GE.
I'd imagine E will get a refit sooner than people here seem to think
As with BBC Three, don't expect today's BBC strategy will be tomorrow's.
There's a new likely Labour government for the next licence fee settlement, so I'd bet in a new 'online' rolling news service will be proposed to serve 'left behind' older audiences who've been getting 'misinformation' from Facebook , and new service appears on linear broadcast.
Just think how the media/political/chattering classes as once called will react to GB News being No1 news channel for many slots - how could the BBC abandon an audince to them? they might ask
What's old becomes new. The BBC is particularly good at playing to a Labour policy agenda - that's why media city Salford exists, why Look Hull exists
