A visit to the BBC Cymru Wales TV studios was a popular choice for Bridgend Soroptimist’s summer outing. The opportunity to step into the future of broadcasting at BBC’s newest and most advanced studios on our doorstep in Cardiff was very appealing.
The 90-minute tour gave members the chance to visit one of the largest BBC newsrooms, packed with cutting-edge technology including augmented reality, virtual reality and robotic cameras. Several members sat in the news “hot seat” whilst others tried their hand at weather presenting! They also had a sneak peek at TV galleries and other broadcast facilities to discover the secrets of making a BBC programme and follow in the footsteps of some of Wales’ famous faces.
Following the tour they adjourned to the Parkgate Hotel for a well earned lunch and a discussion on future programme development!
