The entire BBC news operations have moved to a brand new home in central London on Monday with the last TV network news broadcast from its old Television Center in west London last night.The last TV network news from the Television Center in west London has been broadcast on BBC One.The old TV center property, which has been sold for redevelopment, opened in 1960 and the news first went out from the site nine years later.Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, news bulletins on BBC One fronted by the likes of Richard Baker, Angela Rippon, Anna Ford, Moira Stuart, Peter Sissons and Martyn Lewis attracted audiences of up to 10 million people, said the BBC.The BBC's Broadcasting House in central London has been extended. The TV news journalists will join those BBC News colleagues that have already moved into their new home - staff working on Newsnight, World TV, the news website and the BBC Red Button news pages, as well as those on radio news other than BBC Radio 5 live.The former Television Center, which was sold for 200 million pounds last year, closes on March 31 and will be redeveloped into hotels, flats, a cinema and office space, while retaining some classic studios.The main television studios will be retained and refurbished for leasing out to production companies, including the BBC, from 2014
