The ground floor Media Cafe in New Broadcasting House becomes home to the BBC Club today, with an opening party hosted by the DG, Tim Davie, no less. It's moved from the ground floor of Wogan/Western House, where the lease was surrendered to save licence fees. Passers-by to the old Club along Great Portland Street couldn't see members relaxing with liquid refreshment - but there's as yet no of sign of frosted glass along the windows new home open to Portland Place pedestrians.
In other transparency matters, it's not clear what rent the BBC Club Ltd is paying for the new space. And it's even less clear how much the BBC Club drinkers will have to budge up when the Media Cafe is open to audiences in the BBC Radio Theatre.
