Where did you read that?
The July Newsletter also states that Broadcasting House will officially open in 2012, and 5,000 staff will move in over the next couple of years.
The November Newsletter seems to confirm that at least UK Television News output and BBC World Service Radio will certainly be moved to Broadcasting House in 2012. I find it odd that World News would not move at the same time as well.
The move is supposedly now 2013.

BBC Broadcasting House Newsletter 24 - Project Update from July 2011 posted:
The year-long fit-out of Broadcasting House is now at the half-way stage, with progress well advanced on all floors. All the radio studios are built and currently undergoing technical fit-out. The construction of the Radio 1 studio on the 8th floor is well advanced and all edit suites, control rooms, clip studios and meeting rooms are structurally complete and awaiting finishes. Tea points and break out space joinery is also in place and carpet is being laid on the 3rd, 6th and 7th floors. The technology fit-out is also moving along at pace, with over 200 contractors working on site across all the floors.

The final countdown
In less than 60 days, the first BBC staff will begin to move into Phase Two of the Broadcasting House development.
Fit-out contractors, Overbury continue to work on site to put the finishing touches to each floor ; and last month, the installation of furniture began, transforming the space into a fit-for-purpose working environment, ready for occupation.
On the newsroom floor, the set and lighting for the BBC news channel and bulletins is under construction, in readiness for the first live news broadcasts later next year.
BBC Vision on the move
In an exciting development, it has been announced that a large part of BBC Vision - which runs the BBC 1, 2, 3 and 4 television channels - is to move from its base in West London to floors in the newly developed Broadcasting House and other nearby buildings in the BBC’s W1 estate.
For the first time, production teams from some of the BBC’s best-loved factual, drama and comedy shows will
be co-sited with BBC news journalists and production staff from BBC Audio and Music, creating a truly creative hub in the heart of London.
Andy Griffee,W1 Programme Director said:“This is the last piece in the jigsaw to truly bring together all of the BBC’s main output departments in one place and create an historic opportunity to deliver an even better service to our audiences.”
The BBC’s Global News operation will be among the first to move into W1. As they prepare to leave Bush House...
