I think even if there were money considerations...here is an idea. take the video ribbon from the exterior underside of the Cube and repurpose it and split it in half. Put 2 sections wrapped around each corner on either corridor. Above and below the ribbon cover the wall in the colour changing LED panels, with the video ribbon cutting thru the middle. (They already had those oddly placed squares there already) And when there is breaking news, turn just the video ribbon yellow at the same time as the screen graphics using the swipe upward revealing the yellow colour. With the BREAKING NEWS words scrolling across the screen. It would be slightly out of focus in the background. In regular mode the, programmes individual graphics would be really slowly moving in the background, so as not to be distracting. It will appear as though the video is going the entire length of that wall, behind the big video wall and out the other side. Maybe cover the length of the video ribbon with a slightly frosted panel if it proves to be too much.
Visual interest. Because it needed something. The lighting is cool and but it kinda feels stop-gappy. But its an improvement nontheless. Having it on the bottom outside of the cube where is only seen for a couple of seconds....eh. Replace it with a internally lit duratrans of repeated SkyNews logos or just show it out of frame or something.
I wish they would put a video ribbon in the news room on the wall behind the DTL position. Maybe that video ribbon ticker can be a signature look that ties all the on camera positions together? I think it would look cool. After all the BBC has its video ribbon above the newsroom. Just a thought.
