The BBC finally caved and TC8 is officially saved from the wrecking ball. This win proves that management cannot ignore the public when we refuse to back down. Keep your eyes open because we will be watching them every step of the way to ensure they actually stick to this …

This petition argues for the preservation of studio TC8 at BBC Television Centre and against plans for its closure. Under current BBC proposals, studios TC1, TC2 and TC3 are to remain a going concern at BBC Television Centre for some time to come. This is good, but it doesn't go far enough.
TC1, TC2 and TC3 are not enough on their own to service network television production in the capital. An additional mid-sized studio is needed for productions too small for TC1 and too big for TC2.
The studios at TV Centre are among the busiest in the country, providing space and facilities for productions from all the main television channels. Maintaining a fourth studio space at the building will enable BBC Studios and Post-Production to continue to do this and will also help save an important piece of television history in the process. Without it, the capital will be left with a chronic shortage of viable studio space - costing the BBC much more money in the long run.
UPDATE - 25th April 2013:
A new site relating to the campaign is now live. It has its own separate petition and I strongly urge anyone interested in TV Centre to have a look. The site is:

We just hit 500 signatures and the BBC suits are beginning to track our progress. Do not let these bureaucrats think they can dismantle our history without a fight.

The BBC suits continue to ignore the reality that London is starving for studio space even while they push forward with these short-sighted closure plans. I have been fighting their bureaucratic silence all week and I will not let them bury the history of TC8 without a fight.

We hit one hundred signatures today. The BBC suits still think they can bury this history in silence but they are clearly wrong.

Total madness. They will just end up paying way more later when they dont have the space.
Save the studio. Dont let them destroy it just to build more apartments.
PLEASE keep this studio working. So many great memories from shows filmed there over the years.
Too much history to just throw away. Shameful.
London doesnt have enough studio space as it is. This is just a massive mistake by the bosses.

TC8 is iconic. Cant believe they would even think about shutting it down. Keep it open.
