Given that the regional news bulletins are only about 5 minutes long it would arguably make some sense to share studio, and possibly also presenter. I'd have thought they might use D at weekends if they didn't want to power up B for whatever reason.(15-05-2023, 01:53 PM)MFTJA Wrote: Strangely it came from D. You'd think with the BBC being so desperate to save money they would've mothballed D and C/E so they'd in theory be saving money by only running two news studios. I guess over time that may happen, but it all seems far too drawn out.D being in another fire zone is probably a good reason to keep it active, as a redundancy in case output from C or B needed to relocate. Presumably the London lunchtime crew is the same as either the Breakfast or 6:30 programme, so combining it with the News at One might not result in cost savings?
I wonder if the One and weekends are staying in B long term, or if they’ll return to C or E once the latter is back in use? Is it more expensive to use B than C/E, as if so that might explain why E has continued to be used while still available?
