Upgrading the news studios at ITN will be interesting, as there are only three studios there now, Studios 1 and 2 in the basement and then Studio 6 overlooking the atrium, which I never understood why they never renamed it to Studio 3 once the original Studios 3, 4 and 5 were decommissioned?

Studio 1 is the current ITV national news studio and ITV News London studio, so if there was an upgrade, where would they be kicked out too?  Studio 2 is block booked for Channel 5 News and Jeremy Vine show, with Studio 6 home to Channel 4 News.

There isn't any other studio available, which is why after the power problems at ITN in April 2022, ITV national news had to move to Leeds, which is amazing to think ITN didn't have another studio in London to use.

What this forum would want if the ITV News studio was out of bounds due to a technical upgrade - ITV News decamping to the GMB studio at TV Centre with the studio fully redressed in ITV News branding and all the various camera angles being used

What would more likely probably happen - A green screen being set up in the Channel 4 News studio with some single camera angle bulletins being broadcast over a long bank holiday weekend. With possibly a full length ITV or Channel 4 News on the previous Friday coming from an editorially relevant but also coincidentally convenient outside broadcast.
