The balcony always did feel like a stopgap. If D can be run on a minimal crew for breakfast, lunchtime and weekend BBC London opts (and the cost of maintaining a studio for these 24/7 justified), it’s always seemed odd that the BBC would intend to use the balcony set long term (bearing in mind it has its own gallery maintained for it too).
Just think it makes more sense having C as a second studio for the News Channel to fall back on in case of issues of regular maintenance on E.
I think the balcony works fine for opt outs.
Question I have is what’s happened to Studio A? I know its gallery controls the balcony now, but what about the physical studio. Is it just a store room now!?
