Surprised they never used the new studio for this when they switched to Huw. As they could have changed the background for it.

If it doesn't exist now, they probably are going to deal with that theme soon.

Switching studios isn’t as simple as you think in this scenario

For starters BBC One is taking the network TX feed so you need to coordinate with network controllers to ask One to switch to Studio B at a designated time with the NC

Secondly you probably need at another gallery crew to setup, since the current on duty NC crew is on air - which I’m not sure if they have a spare crew on standby in breaking news situations like currently…

The end goal is to get information out quickly, so it’s best to keep things simple

A second gallery crew in itself shouldn't be too much of an issue given the NC and World are currently in an unscheduled simulcast meaning the world crew would essentially be free to get another studio on air. The bigger issue from that perspective would be whether either of the duty crews are trained on B given NC and World are yet to come from B outside of BBC1 simulcast.

The bigger issue is getting Huw from one studio to another mid rolling news. They don't have a package they can go to while he goes down two floors. 

They do have packages always done in preparation though?

Or the switch to the new studio would occur on a change of presenter if Huw has been on for so long.

Maybe at Six if they are still going on with prolonged coverage?
