You can do analysis with the balcony set up. It might not look as nice as with big screens for infographics but it's not the lack of a proper set that's preventing it.

Sky is certainly also an alternative internationally to the BBC where available. Always found their international coverage top-rate. Certainly doesn't show that they are a smaller operation internationally.

I agree with you on all of this, and Sky’s international operation is also good.

What I really meant was not that doing proper analysis would be physically impossible for the BBC, more that it was difficult given the overall low level of resources dedicated towards the balcony setup - especially in a breaking news situation, potentially, as they would only have extra hands on deck if a “planned opt” was taking place.
