Most of this stuff went years ago. And what with Auntie's rolling
upgrade process they were probably able to move departments one at a
time into the new space at New Bush House.
However, the BBC and many other large broadcasters are all moving to
Television City in Manchester. It's a purpose built facility with HD
studios and combined office space. With greater emphasis being placed on
contracted programming (radio and TV) large facilities are no longer
necessary. TV City will pool the resources of all the broadcasters in an
effort to cut costs.
As Granada is now the biggest UK broadcaster owning the most regional
independant stations they were able to persuade their investors that TV
City was the right way to go. It is turning out to be everything they
had hoped.
Perhaps this could be a topic at the Fest next year?

I wonder how BBC liquidated all the old equipment in Bush House
(shortwave receivers, antennas, multicouplers, recording gear, entire
studios, etc) that they decided to modernize/upgrade and buy anew in
lieu of uninstalling and moving it? That woulda be one heluva yard sale!
