Ben Boulos on Instagram says that something exciting is happening on BBC Breakfast om Monday. New studio?

That’s an amazing photo on Twitter…

Studio B is one sexy bit of kit!

You’d be surprised at how many people watch both bulletins. (Same goes for the 6.30 and 10 on ITV). It would thus make sense for the two bulletins to have at least slightly different agendas.

Plus, even for people who aren't watching both, having slightly different focuses - typically domestic social affairs for the Six and politics and international news for the Ten - adds a selling point to the respective bulletins.

Also, on the point of different agendas, I recall that one of the British Election Studies (87 or 92) asked about people's perception of ideological leanings of various newspapers and TV/radio programmes - including the BBC's Six and Nine O'Clock Newses - and there were a small but not insignificant number of respondents who thought that one BBC bulletin was biased towards one party and the other leant in the opposite direction! How much of that was genuine feeling and how much was 'not bothered, random answer' was difficult to work out.

I think the way ITV’s 6.30 and 10pm bulletins are different illustrates this point perfectly. 6.30 is (much like the Six) geared more towards home social affairs and, to a lesser extent, human interest/‘news you can use’. News at Ten, meanwhile, is based much more around politics, international news and analysis. I see it as no coincidence that the ratings of the latter have increased since it adopted its current format and stopped being a repeat of the 6.30 news. (Criticisms of Tom Bradby aside…)

Thought it might relate in some way to a gallery move?

Seems like just a gallery move, not studio.

Is Washington debuting tonight at 2AM? If so we might see Chameleon brandings debuting as early as 11PM or 2AM tonight... Maybe we'll have old WN logos over new branding elements, like the rebrand back in 21st April 2008:

Seems unlikely they'd launch on a Sunday evening, previously launches/changes have usually been at the start of the day - either at 05:00 (2007, 2008) or 09:00 (2003, 2019, 2022). The only exception I can really of were the moves to NBH which took place at midday/early afternoon. Regardless of when the changes happen, programmes like Breakfast, Newsday and Asia Business Report have to wait until the Tuesday to make the shift (though I seem to recall that ABR messed up the switch in 2013).

I think the expectation is that 09:00 tomorrow is when the official switch happens.

NBH switch was at 1300 just before the zone o'clock news. Final broadcast from television centre was at 1258 with an 80 second countdown sequence if I remember rightly.

Not yet. The “old” World News branding will continue until tomorrow morning, ending with the overnight bulletin at 0800BST tomorrow.

The “soft launch” of the new branded channel will be at 0900BST tomorrow morning. The full launch of the new brand will be later in the day, probably with either of Lucy Hockings or Yalda Hakim’s new strands. And every subsequent hour thereafter will be the “new” BBC News in all its finery.

James with the lowdown. Thanks!
