I still find it smug that the Standard still lists LL above BBC One. I don't think Richard Desmond who plugged C5 to death in the Express and the Star by putting C5 in the same position!
Although during the period of his disastrous Express Shopping Channel that was given pride of place above all the other digital channels!
There were no straps for the presenter or guests, which may suggest it's an OB gallery at Ally Pally that's in charge, rather than from Kensington.
Does it matter where they're coming from?
Yes, TVF is a TV presentation discussion forum. Where the gallery is can be as important as the output.
I agree but my point is whether it's coming from the gallery at Northcliffe House or on location or wherever. they should still have straps for people regardless. The location shouldn't affect that. That might not have been clear in my original post so apologies for that.

No worries TVGBs.
Presumably the same company that produces the other ABA output shown on London Live did the live show as they were able to generate the same graphics for the bouts. yet not straps for Charlie Webster or the guests.
There were some lives on London Live News from the pres area where straps were generated by Northcliffe House and they do the other ones for the other Live from London events.
London Live can be pleased enough that they had double the audience of RT UK for the week ending June 14.
28k watched The Fall of the Essex Boys, compared to RT's 14k for a Moscow edition of RT News on the Tuesday.
London's Burning has crept back into the top 10 in 4th place, while a Baffoe anchored edition of London Live News was the most watched buleltin on Saturday 13th with 18k in 5th place.
Apparently according to an interview with Torin Douglas and the Royal Television Society, London Live enjoyed it best ratings week 'recently'. Tim Kirkman actually admitted in the interview that the launch had been a disaster, but that the channel was doing much better now, achieving a 0.5% share and would be profitable during 2016.
He went on to claim that when they were showing 3 hours of Miss World (last December) they had a bigger share of the London audience than C4 and C5.

I think he might be on something!
On something or on TO something? I think the former but anyway. It'll be interesting to see how the Pride show they are doing performs this year. Last year was a success from what I understand but it's only two hours this year and they have a lot less people than they had on staff 12 months ago? Also, I think it was three hours long last time?
Most definitely the former! What's makes me laugh is that only now he's acknowledging that the launch was terrible - people on this forum and on social media noticed that within hours, and the non Ebedev press the following day, yet it took him and his staff 11 months to do anything about it!
8.30 am stays the same, but What to Watch moves to 12noon (Headline Interview the rest of the week) followed by a 90 minute lunchtime news from 12.30.
The evening bulletin now runs for an hour from 6, followed by a new arts and entertainment show Live from London at 7. No indication from the schedules as to who's presenting the latter.
From next weekend the lunchtime news runs for 2 hours both Saturday and Sunday.
No idea if we'll get a new look - summertime titles might be nice!
They're struggling to fill 60 minutes at weekends, so I'm expecting more puff and Baffoe.
Interesting to see they're trying again with an entertainment show by shaving off 30 mins from lunch.
Taking London Go off in the first place was an odd decision and I believe, from what I'm told, it performed well for them compared to the rest of the news and current affairs output. The channel really needs something like that so this is more proof that they basically have no idea what they are doing. From what I have seen of the arts and entertainment stuff these days it considerable less starry than it used to be. It'll be interesting to see how much resource that gets too and aren't most of the premieres etc over by about 7 and people are in gigs and theatre performances etc around then. I did wonder if it would be 60 or 30 minutes but it is a very ambitious 60. Er... good luck with that.
