Looks so much better, now it’s a shame that the old set looks worse in HD.

Yes I was thinking that.
They desperately need to update that set.

Is there currently a Finance presenter on the show?

Del Irani doesn’t look to have returned to the role.

She seems to have disappeared for over a month. Hope she’s ok.

Del hasn’t been active on her social media since January…

Congrats to News Breakfast:

News Breakfast undersells themselves, IMO. They aren’t as serious as they make out- they have chat, interviews and music performances. The win yesterday should be a concern for Today, because they always considered news to be their strong suit (compared to Sunrise).

Co-host Michael spoke to TV Blackbox:

I haven’t seen or watched Johanna in ages, I think the last time I saw her present was sometime in 2017/16?! Her hair has grown out since then.

If they had the videowall worked into the set design, you could get a full length zooming shot (which would look so much better).

Great caps @MGO

Does anybody know what’s behind the video wall? Have never understood why it’s there in the middle of the studio.

It’s been like that since the old studio. Im not sure why they still use it that way, when they’re now working in a space twice the size.
