Have Points West actually said why they have been in 'the lobby' for over a week now?


yes, they said on the first day that their studio is being renovated so would be in the temporary 'studio' for 3 weeks

3 weeks!!!!

The national set has been around for so many years now what's the betting they update that soon and once again PW will not fit the corporate look!

I doubt the national set will have many changes until the move to Broadcasting House in a couple of years time.

What is this programme called 'Points West'................

The South West England BBC Local News programme is 'Spotlight'.

One take over from Bristol is enough.

Very Happy

Power spike at BBC in Plymouth this lunchtime, BBC 1 South West went off air and fell back to BBC London, BBC Radio Devon also went off air briefly.

As of last night they were still in the temporary studio, they must be moving back next week surely... how long has it been? I think they'll have been out of there for 4 weeks by the end of this week...

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Points West? As far as I'm aware Spotlight are in their normal studio

EDIT: Apologies, didn't realise this thread included Points West Laughing

Yes, it will be 4 weeks for out of the studio for Point West, lets hope they make a better job of the floor than on Spotlight...in fact after 4 weeks this studio had better be VERY impressive. I think its the longest they have ever been homeless due to a studio refit.

PS Spotlight viewers have you also noticed that your weather map also cover the whole of the Points West region as well!? You can even make out the Chew Valley lakes just below Bristol! Thus, Point West must be in the South west too! Wink

Points West still coming from a green screen this morning. I'm sure it's coming up to the 5th week of not having a proper studio now!

Unless it is ready and they just want to do a mini studio relaunch at 18:30?...

Well ISTR BBC Birmingham, post move in 2004, let Nottingham handle the Breakfast opts because they wanted to launch at 13:30. Maybe PW want to do that.
