It's probably a mistake. I've seen a number of pieces that say the BBC opened TC with 7 main studios (which is technically correct, as TC8 opened later in Stage IV of the development.) That said, TC8 is within the part of the building that BBC Worldwide are supposed to be moving back to and there has been speculation that it could be retained as some sort of multi-purpose exhibition space, hall, even (shock) TV Studio. If that's the case then it'll be very much approved of by the industry as there has been a long campaign to retain a second medium sized studio at the centre. TC8 is also beloved of Sitcom producers as it's just the right size and the audience facilities are excellent.
Not sure whether this a typo or not.

Could this mean TC4 or 8 is staying?
