I’ve come to the conclusion it’s a bit of a waste. A couple of large screens in different parts of a studio with a fake background. No AR graphics in bulletins (as was promised). No walking between presentation areas any longer. I don’t see the point of B.
Far fitter if they a) refurb E quickly with similar features the desk, a live newsroom background, a tower screen, etc. and b) give B over to Newsnight, some news channel bulletins (The World Today, Context).
Huw was really the only person who ever made use of all of the presentation areas, walking between areas etc. He really took ownership of the studio when it launched and it was only ever him and George who kept going with the walk from the desk at the end of the bulletin.
If the NC ever did any bulletins from B that would need them to employ someone to operate the autocue......
