It sounds like I am being really negative, but I don't mean it in that way. I will give it a chance, but I am not convinced.
And how much footage of actual programming from the completed studio have you actually seen?
Why do you need to see footage? I have seen enough to make up my mind, I hate it.
How you can draw any conclusions about how it will actually look on launch day when it's been stated it's not finished, and you've not seen how they're going to use the space on camera, is truly beyond me.
And that's before you even consider the actual content is far more important for the vast majority of viewers, rather than the colour of the wall behind the newsreader. Many more people will / have turned to the BBC because of the links to the Murdoch's than because of a lack of colour in the background, more will turn over because of the presenter changes than the lack of a voiceover.
Until you see the completed version, you can't possibly be in a position to call it a disaster, or predict it going down like a tonne of bricks!
(that said, there's nothing wrong with saying you don't like the white - it's the drawing of conclusions I (and it appeared skygeek did) take issue with. At least let them finish before you decide its all carp)
As I said, I will give it a chance.
I thought you'd made up your mind?
