Though for large parts of the day BBC World News are in a studio without remotely-tracking cameras whereas the News Channel always has them. (The studio BBC World News use during the day doesn't have the Furios, the studio they used in the evening and that is used for the joint BBC World News/BBC News Channel overnight service does)

I know that article highlighted a BBC World News incident, but in fairness glitches on BBC World News tend to be one offs rather then ongoing problems that Studio E has.

I noticed that the Ten o'clock news last night (Sun) did a little feature at the end of "And now a look ahead at stories coming up this week", covering a major story expected each day on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
I've never seen that done before.

Yes, it's been running for a few weeks

I wish they use this more often (in motion of course). The newsroom backdrop is dull and dim and reminds me of the horrible N6 shoebox era.
Also I always don't get the point of filling that giant screen with the newsroom shot or London skyline and squeezing all the news graphics in the smaller screen next to the presenter. IMO they made the best use of video walls back in the 2006 national relaunch in which the graphics had decent size and the skyline backdrop was not that fake (thanks to the glassy light reflect touches).
On the News at Five, the newsroom backdrop has changed to a static shot of a generic glone backdrop.

AIUI the large screen is relatively coarse-pitch LED. You wouldn't want to put content graphics in there with text you needed to read on a reasonably tight shot. It works fine for picture content but you wouldn't want anything other than big thumping text in there.

As far as I can recall, apart from the launch period generic loops and the normal daytime/nighttime London skyline backdrops, the only other backdrop variant I've seen BBC World (specifically) using on that screen were the special backdrops for Mandela and Thatcher death coverage. It always intrigued me why they dont make better use of it. Your post, above, somewhat answers my question, Noggin. Thanks.

The Christmas trees will be onscreen by the 19th.
I wonder if they'll build the Christmas trees overnight tonight?
