I will be bitterly disappointed if BBC Channel Islands doesn't get something as close as possible to the standard look being rolled-out elsewhere, even if without LED screens.
For example... I see no good reason for them to not have the exact same style of sofa and desk already seen on East Midlands Today, the little woodgrain-effect ledges at the foot of the set walls, etc etc. Even if the set walls are just boards with a printed static image, rather than LED screens.
If the walls are just boards, then the image should be a photograph of the St Helier skyline taken from a sufficiently high/distant vantage point to be the same sort of broad panoramic vista as e.g. the Belfast and Nottingham ones. Albeit that it would presumably have to be a daylight-hours only image even in late night bulletins, just as is the case with their current backdrop.
Unless they can come up with a cunning solution for that, such as interchangeable boards with daylight/nighttime versions of the view that can be quickly and easily swapped-over. Or, as with the current Plymouth backdrop on Spotlight, use lighting techniques to change the daytime photo view to a faux nighttime look.
