I get the impression the desk, despite looking ridiculously oversized sometimes, is actually tiny. It only looks huge because the studio space itself is doll sized. During PMQs where they have 4 or more people it looks extremely cramped. I get the impression from photos of the studio that if the cameras were physically any closer to the presenters the lenses would be touching their nose too. How do you refit such a space to not look rubbish?
I understand the location of the studio limits how much space they can realistically acquire, especially on GBN's austere budget. Seems like it would have made more sense to make it a remote interview space for people doing press circuits. Paddington is a little too far for anyone ducking into BBC, Sky, LBC etc. throughout a morning.
Given they've only tweeted 15 times and, as far as I can tell, they haven't promoted the account at all, that's not too surprising.Their main twitter account grew incredibly fast, surpassing the follower count of long established incumbents like LBC within months. There's not really any reason to believe the GBNAmerica account cannot grow quickly if they cared to promote and post on it with any kind of frequency.
It would help if they didn't make it a clinical, plasticky looking bright white. They went from one extreme to another.
