I think somebody said that the cameras in A and B can be remote controlled using the same system as the ones in N8, so it may not be much more costly than before.

I thought it was Manned because it has the same camera movements as in N8 and are ultra basic, which is understandable considering its a green screen studio

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I also have a BBC account (yes, I'm that sad) and on their Points of View messageboard, the main complaint about the new look has been the newsroom in the background, with many saying it distracts them from what the newsreader's saying. I can't see it myself, but then that's just me.
I'd imagine so. I think it was announced that TVC will be redeveloped and the BBC will lease back some offices there.
So we're now at the end of June. Are N6 and TVC's newsroom still being 'kept warm'?

I think there's a Christmas tape in there somewhere of "the best of the wondering robots".
Just caught a Click I recorded the other day and off it was a 11am bulletin with Jane Hill in Ireland. I wish they'd come up with a version of the titles that matched the audio - the way it just hangs on the final shot while waiting for the music to finish just doesn't work.

In a word. Yes.
It would increase the daytime technical gallery staffing (for non-BBC One bulletins) from 3 to 4/5 people. That's a major cost increase. Even BBC One bulletins just get a single lighting/vision/remote camera person - but even adding a single extra job to the gallery would be a significant cost.
A major reason for putting in Mosart and Furio cameras must have been to reduce the staffing to at least pre-News Channel levels (3 during the day, 2 overnight) Remember the BBC has to make 20% cost savings at the moment. Increasing staff levels doesn't really help with that...
Oh come on. People expect better of the national broadcaster. What price to not make the National News look like a joke? I think around £100,000 a year - you could have 2 proper camera ops controlling the robots on 7 day fortnights (11am - 11pm) plus holiday / sick cover. Its a drop in the ocean.
And it'll be worth it compared to the bad PR of the cameras doing a dance when Nelson Mandela / a senior Royal passes away.
Is it really expensive to have one or two camera operators on the BBC nowadays?
