Talk:Television Centre, London

message: 'Most BBC national and international TV output comes from Television Centre' - this is surely not true these days, since channel playout has been done from Red Bee up the road for several years now, and only a minority of programmes come from studios within TVC. -SP
:I seriously doubted this assertion when first I came across it some months ago, but supposed that whoever had put it there knew what they were talking about. Can someone in a position to confirm or refute please do so, or do we have to ring the press office? Wingspeed (talk) 13:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Only two years later I've edited it to more closely reflect reality although there is room for improvement, mentioned and cited is something about broadcast stopping from TVC in 2013, in actually stopped with the commission of the broadcast centre in 2005.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kejoxen (talk • contribs) 12:25, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: TVC as output source

message: Studio 1 is big, but even when it opened in 1964 it was smaller than Rediffusion's studio 5 at Wembley.   MMC's studio complex at Cologne has seven studios with usable floor areas larger than the usable 810 m2 of TC1, including three studios twice the size, and one even larger with a usable floor area of 2118 m2 (studio 30/31). 
Changing the claim to read "second largest television studio in Britain". -- Jheald 16:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Removal of recent event picture

message: I've just replaced the use of the term 'filmed' with 'recorded or transmitted' in the studios section, since this is more accurate - extremely rarely where any productions filmed (ie using a film camera) at Television Centre - they were normally either recorded (eg onto videotape), or transmitted live, both using multiple video cameras.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The lead was way too big, so I've summarized and removed the below material.
It looks like most of this is already covered in the "Development" section, but someone may want to review if there are parts worth re-integrating into the body of the article. (Taking this much out didn't break any refs, so there may be unique refs that should be restored.)

It was announced on 21 September 2010 that the BBC would cease broadcasting from Television Centre in 2013.BBC1 to go live for coronation anniversary night in 2013, guardian.co.uk, 21 September 2010 On 13 June 2011 the BBC announced that Television Centre was on the market, and that it was "inviting bid proposals from people looking for a conventional, freehold property or those interested in a joint venture", suggesting that it may yet remain connected to the BBC.
In July 2012 it was announced that the complex had been sold to property developers Stanhope plc for around £200 million and that the BBC would retain a continued presence at Television Centre through its commercial subsidiaries BBC Studios and Post Production (BBC Studioworks since 2016) and BBC Worldwide. BBC Studios and Post Production (relocated to Elstree Studios) was due to move back to Television Centre to operate Studio 1, 2 and 3 in 2015, but it was announced in July 2014 that it had agreed with the developers, Stanhope, to move back in 2017, at the same time as other key tenants, to enable the most efficient overall site construction programme to take place. BBC Worldwide moved into office space in the Stage 6 building following extensive refurbishment in 2015.
The radio and television news departments moved to Broadcasting House in central London, the home of BBC Radio, as part of a reorganisation. BBC News moved to new facilities in Broadcasting House on 18 March 2013, but TVC remained in active use with many programmes being taped in the studios until it closed for redevelopment officially on 31 March 2013. BBC TVC was one of the largest such facilities in the world and was the second-oldest operational television studio in the United Kingdom, after Granada Studios where Granada Television was based for many decades.
Stanhope said in April 2014 that the new Television Centre development would "pay homage to the original use of the building" and retain original features of the buildings including the "doughnut", atomic dot wall and Helios statue. The new Television Centre will be opened up to the public and will offer entertainment and leisure facilities, including a new branch of members' club Soho House, offices aimed at the creative sector and approximately 1,000 new homes, together with pedestrian access through the site providing connectivity with the local area, including Hammersmith Park. The refurbished Studios 1, 2 and 3 reopened in September 2017 and, since the closure of ITV's London Studios, have been the studio base for Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.

thread_title:  Trimmed the lead; material may need review 

message: Hi all, I'm proposing the redevelopment section of the article is moved and merged with the history section, as it is currently somewhat unhelpful to have the recent history of the building at the opposite end to the modern history with loads of technical information in between. Tvcameraop (talk) 13:24, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , thanks for the agreement. I've now gone ahead and merged with the history section, alongside additional changes such as consolidation of the external links (some into the body of the article). Tvcameraop (talk) 11:08, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
