BBC World News from New Broadcasting House

Chris Rogers is coming from Studio B right now. So I assume some works going on in C?

There's some very good camerawork going on with nice trucking shots while the camera head raises and zooms in. I assume there must be a camera operator - aren't the cameras mounted on manual pedestals with Shotoku PTZ heads and height drives?

Yes, manual peds but no height drives in B. Planned works in C.

Isn't one camera at least totally manual too in B, as was the case in TC7? A camera with a Radamec or Shotoku remote PTZ head on is still not as 'operator friendly' as one with a standard manuakl panning head (and also the PTZ mounts add a good couple of inches of height)

I found this CD during a sort-out. Would anyone like it? Free to the first person that PMs me their address.

Yes, at least one, possibly a couple are. The jib is manual too.

BBC World News SD gone on 19.2e, there was a hastily looking scrolling message telling viewers to retune to the HD service

Maybe it’s my eyes but did World News switch the font for their ticker to BBC Reith? Seems different to me.

No. Still Helvetica.

Thanks. My weary eyes must of got to me in the middle of the night.
