Is the BBC Olympic studio in the UK?

The windowed studio used by Clare Balding in the evenings is - it's in Salford (You can see Old Trafford, home of Manchester United, in the back of shot!).
There is - I believe - a small single camera studio in Korea which can be used by the presenters out there (who work overnight and early morning I think?)

Ofcom has today released a statement about the BBC's broadcast of the Commonwealth Games in April.
Quote:
Ofcom has received a request from the BBC for consent to broadcast exclusive live coverage of the Commonwealth Games 2018 (“the Games”). These are due to take place in Gold Coast City, Australia between 4 and 15 April 2018.
The BBC plans to broadcast coverage of the Games on BBC One and/or BBC Two (and their interactive streams). In addition, the BBC intends provide live and delayed commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live. Daily highlights of the Games are to be provided by Eurosport, and it is intended that Eurosport will also provide delayed coverage.

Presumably because, as a listed event, they need to inform Ofcom so they can rule whether their planned coverage fulfils their criteria of availability. Which it clearly does, but they need to rubber-stamp it.

Confused... why would the bbc need permission to broadcast a sports event?

Yes - that would be my reading of it. I suspect all Crown Jewel event coverage needs to be run by Ofcom (that may be how the Crown Jewels legislation is enforced ?)

How does it rate for them. Obviously Moto GP has it's fanbase and I think they're pretty dedicated but can't see it having wide appeal really - nobody has really missed it since it left the BBC.
