The way in which these shows are being launched to viewers may tell us more about how Studio C and E are going to look with these new programmes in the near future.

If you want me to take that point further. Could the way in how these programmes have launched today be temporary for the moment.

It is only a backstop measure until Studio C and E get their new studios later this year? Or would this be described as the final product for these new programmes on the merged NC?

I did wonder earlier about their air of temporary-ness - the lack of studio graphics in particular made me wonder if they decided that making them for a screen arrangement that isn't going to be around for long was a bit pointless. But given how long some of the set installations have taken, particularly the network ones, it doesn't seem likely that a new set in Studio E would appear until near the end of the year at the earliest - that just seems a long time to be in a temporary state. If a full reveal wasn't planned until then, why not wait until then? It's hardly like there's been some great demand for this, nor is there anything that this change has offered that couldn't have waited.

It feels like virtually every change at BBC News since the move to NBH has had a whiff of temporaryness about them - always one or two elements changes in advance of something else expected to change a bit further down the line.    Maybe it was expectation rather than reality but even think when the NBH studios launched there was the feeling the continued use of the (amended) Lambie Nairn globe was ony until a new graphics package was ready.    We just didn't know that would be another 11 years or more.
