Given that BBC Breakfast and BBC North West Today / Tonight share certain behind the scenes crew and resources. It wouldn't surprise me if NWT does (eventually) come from this set in the long run.

With Sportsday currently at 6.30pm on the News Channel I'd have thought that might get priority, at least in the short-medium term. Long term it would make more sense for NWT to come from a studio with more height, given that there's more standing compared to most sports bulletins.

It's almost a pity they can't create a second smaller studio space in the same area that can be used when this new studio/set is in use. Then the current main Breakfast/NWT space could be reused as office space, which I seem to recall was the original/early plan.
