I think the new split screen look needs a bit of work. At times it’s not immediately obvious if it’s a Live broadcast or not. Just watched an interview with a Palestine Red Crescent spokeswoman…it was Live but that was not shown on the screen at all.

I prefer the split screens. Livens up the staid broadcasts with more visuals than just a talking head and a hospital corridor shot. Im used to many north american broadcasters in the US and Canada often using that technique. Especially with a quickly moving breaking story. (Imagine one shot is from a chopper, another from street level and one from the studio) I agree its defo a balance in ensuring the viewers knows which shots are actually live.

First time in a long while since we've seen this!



Though the desk seems similar in shape to that at the glass box - is this a sign that the glass box is about to get a refresh? After all, the current glass box set has been in use since 2018.

Interestingly Sky News is on Comcast/Xfinity systems as a channel in the US, they added it in a section with other streaming channels like NBC NEWS NOW , and can be accessed like a normal channel.

And is also available on Peacock

It's wild that they have the opportunity to display absolutely anything on those huge screens, and that's what they went with.

I think it's more likely that there is maintenance going on in or around the glass box. There is no real need for a refresh at the moment especially after the introduction of the UK Tonight and the subtle changes there.

I honestly don't know why they don't use that studio more often. Admittedly, it's pretty boring, but as someone previously said, use a more interesting backdrop on those screens and that would make a lot of difference. An L-shape desk with screens on the front would also be more useful interviewing guests. Then the studio could be used for specialist programming.

Now they're presenting from Westminster

I think Studio 6 is still used regularly, but generally for the CSO capability on the opposite side of that set. I suppose they keep the side with the screens as a back up for Millbank and the Glass Box.
