I've always felt the large screen was somewhat wasted being used generally as just a scenic backdrop, so wonder if it might come into use as an actual presentation screen with the new look. I don't think the regional backdrops are necessary, especially with some of the super-sized regions.

Some don't even show an image, West/country tend to stick a yellow generic thing on it!
Central and Granada's are somewhat 4 years out of date now!
I don't think the 'sofa and coffee table' set up is right for regional news. Although up here, our studio is worse, two screens at a 90 degree angle set in a white panel with a blue lit 'doorway' between at 45 degrees, a proper news desk (crap desk) also at 35 degrees edged more towards to the right hand screen. Seems like something you'd expect from a corporate internal TV 'channel', not a national TV station (nearly national)

Granada's is live, as the red sign has gone on it now.

I've actually really liked the backdrop set up for Granada Reports, more so than the desk look used before the 2004 revamp. I think the backdrop has always looked quite like a window, even though of course it is aimed at the Granada building.
Wathing Granada Reports tonight is like going back in time to when they presented the news from the "newsroom" when they first moved the programme to Liverpool.
I would not be shocked if we did not get the new set until they move to media city and we just get new lighting on Monday. They say on twitter and a "lick of paint"
That's just an expression. If had a pound for the amount of times I've heard people like Nick Owen use that expression when a programme has got a new set, I'd have quite a few pounds now.
