I saw a clip of a guest who bought a huge guitar into the Breakfast/NWT studio and it could barely fit under the low ceiling, wouldn't have had that problem in TVC or BH or even the Sports studio. Wink

Wow, that really is small.

Wow, that really is small.

I don't think it looks much smaller than N6, but the part of the set they use is only the same size as that used for the first Breakfast, or even its predecessor Breakfast News.

It's certainly narrow, and an odd long shape. Perhaps they would've chosen a different place for the studio if they'd known it was going to be for more than just the regional news programme.

It's not a studio. It's an office. It's at least 1/3 of the size of N6 and 4 feet shorter.

I did say I don't think it looks much smaller than N6. I didn't have the specs. If it really is only one-third of the size, then they hide it well.

It's not an office: it's office space which has been turned into a broadcast studio, for all intents and purposes. To continue to call it an office is somewhat pedantic considering what they are producing from the 'space' - however you decide to define it.

Must we have this pedantic arguments over the term studio? You knew what he meant. We all know it's converted office space....

Also, have you got specs of the studio in comparison? I can't see it being 1/3 of the size of N6 to be honest. The sofa is about the size of the sofa that was in N6 when Breakfast was there and that took up half the studio.

It looks like a wider space than N6, but possibly a little less deep.

Liverpool is particularly important, as Joe Anderson is the first ever elected mayor there, there was no referendum to decide, and he is a Labour mayor elected with a 57% share of the vote. Quite an extraordinary state of events, and someone who will inarguably put Liverpool on the map during the next 4 years.

Yet this didn't get mentioned at all at a national level - not even in passing. And it takes about 10 seconds to say?!

The referendums which resulted in a 'no' vote received more attention. Yes, this is significant for the Conservatives as a party, but since they haven't voted to have a mayor, nothing has been gained at all from the referendum. It's a completely empty story now, devoid of anything significant to say. Yet Joe Anderson offers lots to the table for Liverpool. This is noteworthy, no? As we know, about 2/3 cities voted yes to have mayors, but yet this story is more important than Liverpool, which has already cut to the chase and elected its mayor, along with a Labour mayor in Salford.

There has been a large amount of spin put on the story to make it look like a Conservative failure, and yes Labour has done very well nationally. However, Liverpool and Salford have been ignored in being right behind London, and will push them further on in terms of their political clout.


I heard this fact being reported several times yesterday - both in live studio coverage, and I think in a summary package as well - and there was a five minute live interview between the News Channel studio and Joe Anderson in Liverpool (standing in some sort of plaza with a John Lewis in the background), repeated at least once I believe, on the News Channel.

It didn't get as much attention as, say, the Mayor of London's election, but it's hardly accurate to say that "this didn't get mentioned at all at a national level - not even in passing".

Also seems if they'd flipped the set round - ie have the sofa at the other end - the room is wider (deeper?) at that end - it would mean the cameras could be a foot or so further back from the podium that the sofa is on.

A few questions:

Why is the sofa at one end rather than in the center?
Why it there a wider pillar before the last screen?
Why is it just panels at the far end and no screens?
