e.tv's eNews unveils the new grey-and-red set inside its revamped Hyde Park studio for its TV news bulletins.


e.tv's eNews bulletin on Monday night revealed the revamped set of its news studio from where it will continue to do its daily TV news bulletins inside its Hyde Park headquarters.

The news studio is housed in the same building as eMedia Investment's eNCA (DStv 403) TV news channel.

The eNews studio revamp follows the unveiling of eNCA's "white-wash walls" revamp in mid-July a month after eNCA's 10th birthday.

"Good evening, and welcome to our new eNews studios," said Sally Burdett, eNews anchor, as she opened Monday night's TV news bulletin on e.tv at 20:00.

e.tv issued no advisory or press release to the media ahead of time or afterwards about the studio revamp.



The new eNews studios with predominant grey and red tones and four wall monitors, is evocative of a sports show set and has one larger TV screen with a circular white base "bar table" with a transparent top, from where the main news is read by a standing news anchor.

The right hand side wall has a rectangular and segmented grid approach with red relief.

Two horizontal red lines criss-cross the right hand side wall and is reminiscent of the corridors of the set of the USS Enterprise 1701-D on the Paramount lot in Los Angeles whenever there was a red alert in the mid-1980's show Star Trek: The Next Generation.
