Only a couple of TVC's studios have been upgraded to HD - TC1 (the really big one, often home to Strictly Come Dancing and Later with Jools) and TC8 (used for light ents stuff like Two Pints). From what I've read, News 24 might well be using the same studio cameras as they did when they opened - plus its source material is almost entirely SD, so there wouldn't be much point in upgrading the channel to HD just yet. (As an aside, BBC Scotland's new studios are all HD - you can watch the studio parts of Reporting Scotland in glorious 1080i, but only in the gallery and one or two other places in the BBC.) - martin
