BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Considering that most people who are late home for Newsnight could either record it, or catch it on iPlayer, I'd hazard a guess in saying The Papers likely rated better.

I never really saw how the Newsnight repeat saved much money. I’m not convinced the cost of the extended shifts and keeping the guests longer mounted to much.

I still think The Papers is too short. They’re just getting going and then it’s cut off. I’d much prefer a decent half-hour from 10:30-11:00 then stick Sportsday at 11:15.

means they can properly cover late breaking domestic news properly (especially political stuff like commons votes, like tonight)

another case of not checking the ticker text before putting it on air

Either that, or a trigger happy editor knew the amount would be in thousands and forgot to change the ? to a figure.

The ticket tape writer was probably following someone verbally announcing it in the newsroom but wasn't sure what they said.

Or it was already written up hours - or even days! - ago when the outcome was probably already pretty clear and all they were waiting on was a number, which they forgot to fill in.

I wonder if they prepared ones in case resignations occur at some point.

Chris Fawkes presenting the 12.30pm weather bulletin from the balcony studio today! Trundle cam was a bit bugged, but at least they're trying to use it more than not at all.

We also had Matt Taylor from the Derbyshire catwalk this morning as well, instead of a London based forecaster from a CSO or Simon King in Salford.

I thought weather on the Victoria Derbyshire programme was done by the Breakfast forecaster - except when they are on location though that seems to be very frequent at the moment.

More NC funnery with 'The Papers' this evening, as they had problems showing the graphics for the front pages in sequence to the narrative . . . only to then discover they were showing the wrong day's papers too!
