I wonder how much it cost? Two Ikea chairs and a custom desk. Laughing


So we've moved from Tesco to Ikea? An improvement of sorts.
Hatton Cross, Stuart and dosxuk gave kudos

I think it's quite nice that we've been allowed these previews, from twitter and also from SkyGeek.

None of us know what the finished on-screen look will be, and I am looking forward to it later in October.

That sort of thing doesn't add anything, really! Rolling Eyes

I do like the minamilist studio itself - just the backdrop I'm having trouble with - mainly those white balconies. Would perhaps have been an idea to have the ticker on one of those, but then that might be too much.

What I do wonder though is how jarring it'll be switching from this set back to the origiinal. Presumably the second new studio will be more along the same lines as the cube.

I have to say, I'm rather fond of the orange light strip below the screen. I think it's all looking rather fabulous - and a massive departure from what they have now. What they have now will, I reckon, look really dated once this is on screen.

The orange lights remind me of the ambient lighting you get in fancy cars like BMW.

P.S. Can the mods sort this thread out - should have been split weeks ago really.

I think the floor is from B and Q.

Slight similarity with ITV London.

Them balconies won't stay bare from long, I think they will add lights.

It was a sarcastic comment about the inane retail comparisons in this thread.

If those are cameras 8, 9, 10, and 11, where are 1-7?

I'd guess in Sky Centre, going by this cap from this weekend's Swipe.

Out of curiosity how many control rooms are back for day to day production at the current news facility? Don't they have two different presentation studios that would warrant a different control room? I only ask because of the decamping to Milbank during rehearsals at Sky Central seems a bit odd for such a major news organization that's on the air so much.

Also, why aren't they waiting until the technical facilities (control room) at Sky Central are set up before starting rehearsals? Surely they'd need to have technical rehearsals later on for the new equipment and based on what we've heard the new studio won't be online any time soon.

Seems they are changing their numbers, could they be using 8-11 for the times of rehearsals? We've seen 1-4 earlier.
