OK, that's what threw me as she clearly says he is about to appear on TV, and if I'm up before 7am it's not to watch the news. Looks like although it isn't even as flash as the "bland" new Westminster studio it could be used on screen if needs be.

I think that was supposed to be the temporary set that Kay would have presented from had everything not moved to the Glass Box, but I guess that it's now mainly for the DTL position.

Here's another photo from the testing of the new studio, showing The News Hour branding on the front of the desk but the 'not final' background with the logo alternating with '#AOP' in the same way it did with 'Kay Burley'

Yep, correct. It's now entirely a DTL / ENG pre-record position. It's the same camera that used to face into the newsroom, but was obviously moved as you would've had many contractors strolling past carrying stuff whilst the set was rebuilt.

It would just add so much to the screens in the studio if we just had a wider angle of the new Millbank studio where beside the left white-glowing pillar we would see some gallery screens and beside the right studio pillar we had a small glimpse into the Westminster newsroom.

Is it in part as the minister put up for interview each morning generally does Sky News, BBC TV, BBC Radio, and ITV News, and maybe others in quick succession, and going into a specific studio will take more time?


I heard Hancock this morning, first on Times Radio then on LBC and finally on TalkRadio.

You're clearly a fan!!

Unfortunately that's not really possible - to the left of the screens is the studio door to a corridor. The gallery windows are hidden behind the central screen.

Brilliant interview by Kay this morning with Matt Hancock. So much better than Piers Morgan’s interview style - she gave him just enough rope...

Yes the alignment is different now the centre is kind of tilted somehow to the left now and if you would draw a straight line through the presenter you would end up somewhere through the gallery and it would not touch the staff desks as before. Still it should be possible to get a bit of the newsroom with this window and if it was just a brief pan from the other side at the top of the hour.

Yes, theoretically possible. Would be two cameras in the way, though. Might suggest it!

I guess whats annoying about SkyNews is they are trying to do a clean and fresh look. But it just feels under done. Its like they started and then stopped before they arrived anywhere. ZDF Morgenmagazin got a new set this week, and its clean fresh and modern and doesnt have that nasty virtual stuff most German news programmes do. I love this for a morning programme. It just goes to show clean and ultra modern can be done. And the set doesnt need to be blasted with light like a football stadium. Maybe Westminster isnt a good idea for placing a morning programme. Just my opinion. And clearly instead of assembling an entire morning team (like BBC Breakfast, GMB), they went with one large personality in Kay Burley. Cost savings ? Hmmm......

That looks terrible, really, really washed out.
