Mr. Trevor Keegan:

I would class it as having got worse because there is still much doubt about the future. None of us can totally predict what will happen but the whole landscape within the building and as Ms Vaughan alluded to regarding the "Upfront" scenario, teams were told late in the day when this was happening.

The problem is this is a case of Chinese whispers whereby you hear the plan is to possibly have three smaller studios which will not have capacity for audiences. This then diminishes public democracy because if you are not able to have an audience, you cannot have debates for our presidential election or a public debate for a general election. You will not have audiences coming into that building, that actual physical landscape, and feeling they own that - which they rightly do - or are able to take part in the actual line of democracy taking place.
