Colours, lights, and screens aplenty, we have to admit, we're pretty pleased with how the new studio is looking.

There's a lot to keep track of in the studio: Twitter, Facebook, emails, phone calls - not to mention the music we're playing! Luckily, there are enough monitors to help us keep an eye on things.

Preparing for the 9am news bulletin, Bill Overton is the first person ever to broadcast from the new studio.

No, we haven't left a whole load of brand new equipment out in the open - it's an incredible projection of the sky above the studio.
