So the live news from London will end, and The Stream will move from DC to Doha. The article says the Shard newsroom will remain open and that they'll continue to produce other shows.
That's too bad. The London live output always felt special to me. I'm sure there are probably also plenty of staffers who are not pleased at the choice of having to move to Doha or lose their jobs, especially as it much be a pretty competitive job market right now with all the BBC redundancies.
I really hope the other London shows continue. The Listening Post is by far the best media analysis program on television. Studio B: Unscripted also looked quite striking pre-pandemic when they shot the show with a studio audience at night in front of the windows and with yellow lightning. Right now, they're still doing it pandemic-style in daylight and with the audience on Zoom in monitors behind the guests, which feels pretty lame.
