The BBC did not set any standard with studio B, it’s just a couple of video walls. I’m not saying it’s not a good studio, and decent quality, but there was nothing there to “rip off”. The BBC was and is still behind. Those recent small touch screens are a good example they just dumped in the middle of the newsroom. Not to mention the dress down that has occurred and lack of professional line up.
It's not "dress down" is dress as pretty much every professional workplace in the last decade.
The obsession some UK audiences (and channel execs) have with men in tie/jacket is ludicrous. Including Sky News.
Also unfair to describe a lack of "professional" line up. The BBC should have made better choices, use and value of its existing talent - but that doenst in any way make the on air talent unprofessional.
