The Show looks so much better in the news set! ---

Looks absolutely fantastic. They just need to fix the news backdrop and the logo on the desk, but that’s it. ---

Really? I think it needs a lot of work if Today were to move back into studio 21 at TCN. To me, it came across as a throw-together. In the first five minutes, it looked like they had not rehearsed anything (needed it considering the BTS team don’t work with automation on a daily basis). The backdrop behind Sylvia is revolting and the newsroom is rather dull, despite the orange lighting. The black flooring isn’t enlightening for breakfast. The city outline could hardly be seen because it is templated for their usual screen. Also, why didn’t they modify their sunrise backdrop with the Melbourne skyline? I understand it was for consistency but what is the point of promoting that you are in Melbourne if viewers can’t physically see it??? Positives: I do like the desk and its stage and that should be used on a permanent basis. The fancy white stool used in front of the videowall was good too. > [@Salty](#): > > Tony Jones presenting sport in the studio I think I have found Karl’s replacement… ---

The only thing i would realistically change is the background behind Sylvia. The rest makes it look so much more modern & fresh IMO. ---

I would love them to build a new set that is just an extension of the current news set(with a soft set). This morning’s set up looks downright sexy, although they should’ve ditched the striped panels for the full length of the skyline backdrop on the videowall. ---

They also had a V/O this morning (Pete Smith)!!! Hopefully they keep this. > [@Travis](#): > > The only thing i would realistically change is the background behind Sylvia. The rest makes it look so much more modern & fresh IMO If it were permanent, I would probably have a panel that would insert over the newsroom backdrop and relace the one on the large videowall (is it a plasma or a panel) on the RHS. Or at least more Sylvia to the RHS, in front of the newsroom. > [@Snoozenooze](#): > > That’s what their normal set looks like too. Particularly the giant plasma presentation area - by comparison the news wall at GTV looks much nicer. Yeah, I hate the stripes too. I think the news set could have looked a WHOLE lot better, that’s all. ---
