France 2's news bulletins have all week come from the 'cupboard' which makes me think they've refitted the studio in time for Anne-Sophie Lapix's debut on Monday.

KHOU 11 in Houston had been a rolling news service for the majority of this week. As mentioned in the Intl Weather thread, they're broadcasting using a PBS studio in Houston with graphics and playout from a sister station in Denver, Colorado after their studio was flooded.
Here is a couple of hours from Friday where it starts with the end of a CBS programme, followed by a news special.

On the coming Monday, 4 September, two terrestrial broadcasters KBS and MBC will go on strike. For MBC, the workers there are fed up with the management fiddled by almost ten years of the conservative regime.
For a note, as of 2017, most of MBC's shares are owned by a public corporation administered by the Korea Communication Commission, while the rest are owned by a foundation which is related to the now-impeached President Park Geun-hye and, indeed, her father Park Chung-hee. There's a complicated history behind the ownership of MBC, but I don't have time to explain.

Hopefully, this can fill-in the blanks towards this situation. A lot of the current issues affecting KBS and MBC initially dates back to the 1980s but came to a head in 2012, when journalists from MBC, KBS, SBS and news channel YTN protested against favorable coverage of the administration of Lee Myung-Bak, who allegedly spent taxpayer dollars on renovating the house where he was born.
There were also two notable incidents that pushed for the strike at MBC 1) MBC management pulled an episode of PD's Diary (Producer's Diary, MBC's equivalent of Channel 4 Dispatches) that was critical of the Park Geun-Hye government over the MV Sewol ferry sinking incident and government response. 2) is a recording of a meeting to determine the next president of MBC. The meeting revealed that management had created a list of journalists and video-journalists to be blacklisted over content that did not tow the editorial line and their involvement in the 2012 strike, where the employees were categorized into varying groups depending on loyalty to MBC and loyalty to the union. The list was used for personnel decisions according to the Korea Times.
People are asking that KBS's CEO Ko Dae-young step down over attempts to silence journalism critical of the Park administration and the foundation related to Park give up their shares of MBC ownership. KBS's strike is a continuation of a proposed strike that was halted in February. As of typing, 1,130 journalists and producers at KBS have already walked away from the job as their strike began Sunday at midnight local time.http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2017/08/113_235664.html It is unknown how long will the industrial action will last and if other broadcasters will join them. This comes after 27 newsreaders walked off the job at MBC for over among reasons, presenter Bae Hyun-Jin demoting colleagues she did not like during her tenure at "MBC Newsdesk"http://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2017/08/113_235264.html, a text message from MBC's chief editor Moon Ho-chul warning those who participate in the strike will face repercussionshttp://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2017/08/113_235429.html and journalists returning to work after their nine-year protesthttp://koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2017/08/113_235417.html.

This is the origin of those promos, by the way:
Marking the ten-year anniversary of the

France 2 are still in the cupboard for the lunchtime bulletin. So if they're showing off a new set, it'll be at 8pm (7pm BST) this evening.
