The changes so far this morning from a UK viewer's perspective

9am - BBC News. BBC One and NC, presented by Victoria Derbyshire in Studio E
9am - BBC World News, Lucy Hockings in studio C
10am - BBC News on BBC NC and BBC World News presented by Victoria Derbyshire in Studio E

Think we can all assume at this early stage that studio B has been closed.

Don't see how that can be assumed at all (yet).
The only thing that is meant to have been in B this morning is VD which was specifically announced as cancelled. If Lucy is at work we'll find out at 12:00 whether B is still in use (as the first two hours of live always come from C and the 10:00 hour on world currently contains 5 minutes of news also from C)

I see 7pm being replaced by an edition of World News Today or World News

If the evening NC is working normal hours they'll be a genric NC bulletin at 7pm as with Friday's and any other time B100D hasn't aired.

Assumption made based on the statement made yesterday. B takes an entire floor crew to operate unless which seems pointless when they have C available all day. But sure, we'll see.

Derbyshire is in E, but as I type did a typical VD feature where she spoke to women who are self-isolating.

Prepping for Sky's Press Preview.... at a distance.





Have to say given the very serious nature of the coronavirus story news channel need to up their standards when it comes to guests even more so than ever.
The usual rentaquotes (the likes of Owen Jones, Carol Malone, Brendan O’Neill, Ash Sarkar etc) really should be nowhere near the news channels at a time like this.

So two of Tom Harwood, Susie Bonniface and Julia Hartley-Brewer each evening then?

Oh yikes no. Basically actual experts and not the usuals who will appear for the opening of an envelope.
Or maybe even abandon the paper reviews for now. They’re hardly essential PSB and provides extra work to overstretch what presumably are already busy staff.

CNN's New Day are really taking 'social distancing' to a whole new level.

It's so weird to watch. Studio guest are sat apart over on the soft set and a 4 way split screen used.
