I wonder too if they might keep the same camera system but make changes to the layout/position of the ‘tracks’?The way Newsnight is going they'll probably be presenting out on the street soon ala Local TV. They really should rename it when they ditch the in depth reports and investigative journalism in "late-Spring".
That said, it’s not entirely clear why they’re renewing/renovating Studio E given current levels of usage requirements. I can see the possibility of Newsnight moving to Studio C or E post-cuts, if they want to move to a fully automated camera system and utilise a smaller studio. Likewise, maybe they move the News Channel to E and mothball C, or move a World Service channel into C. Otherwise, is there actually a need to bring the studio back online?
As for E - sounds like as I thought they'll essentially replace the catwalk screens and add a tower.
