After all, the touch screen setup is almost a second catwalk anyway, and the utility of a touch screen is questionable. Presumably it was only really used in Studio B because they always knew that they wanted the flexibility to do programmes of varying types in that studio.I'd certainly agree that touchscreens are something that, while news producers seem to love them, add very little, but I don't think that a 'flat' videowall would necessarily have to have touchscreen capabilities. As you say, it functions as basically another catwalk, but a more rectangular set-up, as per the regional sets, might make more sense in a smaller studio - particularly if they do use a rectangular rostrum for the desk, which could be quite limiting if they install those awful electricfriends cameras.
