The upgraded studio features a new video wall, 24m long and 3m high, spanning three sides of the studio. The refurbishment has seen the introduction of new automated HD cameras, a new set design, additional presentation areas and changed opening graphics for the main news bulletins. The replacement of the old video wall has also increased studio floor space by 25%.
RTÉ News & Current Affairs Managing Director, Jon Williams spoke about how delighted he is to see the new studio:
“The new studio and design builds on the themes that have made RTÉ Ireland’s number one choice for TV News – bringing our audiences stories from across the world and around the corner. I’m particularly thrilled that “O’Donnell Abú” will again herald the news of the day – and grateful to the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra for their interpretation of an iconic piece of music.
“The star of the news is the news – and I’m delighted that the audiences to RTÉ News will reap a dividend from last year’s land sale.”
