Just caught up with it. Whilst the set is slightly smaller than the old one (offset somewhat by the cameras being positioned so much further back at certain angles) the technical improvement is vast. The fact the entire backdrop can change means this is potentially a very versatile set. Looks great!
When in presenter closeup, the backdrop is a little granier than I'd hoped, and they seem to have totally done away with CSO for the weather, both in the 6.30 and 10.30 bulletin. Only noticed the tiniest amount of moire though.
A very low key launch, it only got the lightest of mentions at the end of the 6.30. I was starting to think they wouldn't mention it whatsoever. Compared to South East Today, which I think made a song and dance much earlier, and even previewed the new set the previous day! I assume this is an editorial decision in each region?
