Save BBC TV Centre Studios

BBC Television Centre was not a ‘dinosaur in a digital age’. The eight main studios were anything but ‘past their sell by date’. In fact they were incredibly busy working HD Studios making shows not just for the BBC but also for ITV, Channel 4 and Sky. This is particularly true of the last two years.

Six of the eight studios had been fully upgraded to make shows in HD and Studio 6 (TC6) was the first studio in the country to be 3-D ready. They were also pioneering in the development of 5.1 sound. The studios were not only prepared for the technological advances ahead they were pre-empting them.
