I think NWT should stay in the existing Studio, you could utilise it as a studio for the sports bulletins as well.

Why? There's a flashy new studio being built that likely won't be used during the times NWT is on air. Closing/mothballing the awkwardly shaped studio with low ceilings would save money and mean NWT viewers finally get a decently sized regional studio. 

As for sport bulletins, we obviously don't know exactly what'll happen with them after the merger, however they could continue to use the temporary studio they're in at the minute if the new one on the ground floor isn't available for whatever reason.

For a regional studio? For BBC regional coverage, NWT has one of the best studios out of the current pack. Even before the move to Salford!

The Studio B move for London made sense, as it frees up D and means you’re only using a single gallery. SQ2 on the other hand would probably be a good size for the standard regional layout coming.

Of course, sport could move entirely to the VR set (but isn’t that in dock10?)
