Anyway, to answer the question - Riverside have just re-opened with 2 brand new TV studios and the old Granada Studios are being refurbished and will re-open in 2021. Twickenham has also just built a suite of control rooms enabling multicamera shows to be made on one of its stages. All this will partly make up for those studios lost at TV Centre, TLS, Teddington and Fountain in recent years. The Sky Studios being built in Borehamwood, the Littlewoods Studios, the new ones coming in Ashford and Reading etc are not TV studios. They are film stages that will be used for TV drama.
Where in the world are new TV studios being built?
I think some people are confusing TV studios with sound stages that are used to film TV drama. The main differences are that a TV studio has a flat resin floor, control rooms for production, lighting and sound and a lighting grid that enables rapid re-lighting between and during shows. This is usually either motorised bars (eg MediaCity, TV Centre, Sky Studios, Riverside) or monopoles in a slotted grid (eg Elstree 8 and 9, Pinewood TV-one and TV-two.) Some TV shows are made in 4-wallers using an OB truck or flyaway kit but that doesn't really make them TV studios.Anyway, to answer the question - Riverside have just re-opened with 2 brand new TV studios and the old Granada Studios are being refurbished and will re-open in 2021.
