I love watching Fox 25 News when I'm in Boston. It has great, modern pres. That studio you see is just over the road from the State House and is just down the street from the Cheers bar on Beacon Street. I don't think it's the main studio, though.

I haven't been to Boston, but I really like WLS's streetside studio in Chicago. Streetside studios are a valuable promotional tool for stations, of course, but they also provide an added attraction to lively streets in big cities.

It's somewhat surprising that Europe doesn't have many streetside TV news studios, considering the generally vibrant atmospheres of its towns and cities that would seem ideal for this type of thing. In fact, there are many streetside studios in the US, Canada, and Australia, but I can't think of a single one in Europe.

A short news update from AlJazeera Arabic, presented from its CSO studio. Much like Sky News, the channel is broadcasting from the CSO studio while the main newsroom is being redesigned ahead of a new look.

Here's a repeat of a clip posted here a long time ago: one of the first examples of a news anchor standing up and walking -- from the late 1970s :
