Interested to know how you would spend any larger budget.
Hardly surprising, has felt like it was being made with no budget and little motivation since Ellie Crisell moved over to South East Today.

Insulting to who? Surely it's a good training ground for new presenters as well as being good demo tape fodder for them
I can't imagine Huw would fancy breaking off from preparing the Ten to do a 45 second update
Always found it insulting how they didn't have Huw front it and instead stuck to young female generally unknown presenters.

How has it taken me 10 years to realise that the music they used was from one of the old Circle idents?!

At least the duty BBC London presenter will no longer have to cover the 8 on occasion.

Pretty sure its been said in the past that Huw records the 9PM trailer for the Ten almost immediately after the 8 finishes airing so he would have already have been standing by as the 8 was broadcast.

Yep it is, but both gigs are more than just turning up in a studio and reading.
Huw is working on the 10 when the 8 is being prepared and broadcast, and that includes doing the trail for it

Is the trail recorded in A? Wonder if that will look different after the 8 goes as it won't be worth staffing the gallery just for that trail.

90 second updates like this (and indeed 60 seconds back in the day) are just
exhausting
to watch. They're so rushed and crammed in, it becomes a total blur. I don't think viewers take anything away from watching that, if indeed they pay attention.

I don't understand how something as short as 60 seconds can be exhausting to someone. 60 seconds used to have 5 stories in the bulletin, the 90 second update also had 5 in the national segment, 2 in the regional plus a quick regional weather update. There's nothing there to get exhausted over.
Some Indian News channels have bulletins that advertise themselves as having 100 or 200 stories rapid fire, with each 'story' being no more than 10 seconds, and often as little as 6 seconds. Now that truly is exhausting.
