Just seen a full 60 second countdown at 10pm . It had a few seconds before hand without the countdown clock (female reporter talking to camera and then a shot of Wembley) and then a drum beat and into the full countdown

That'll be the 90second version


Is the 90" version of the countdown used before every TOTH? Or is it just used when BBC One is joining, and at other times they use the 60" version?


It's just used at 215830 - to help with the opt back to N6 from N9 before the Ten - just incase anything goes wrong!


Do you know where it is played from?


I expect it is played from the News Channel gallery, allowing BBC World time to get set-up for their 10pm bulletin, and allowing the News Channel to get all their routing back to normal for a clean top of the hour on both BBC One and the News Channel?


It seems that the 10 BBC One/channel stuff has been very well thought out. Moving to the World studio at 2130, allowing the 10 some prep time, is clever, yet must be totally seat-of-pants stuff in N9.

Come out of of World News at 2128. Change pres to Channel presenter. Channel pres then does heads for both networks at 2130. World opt out at 2132. Pres carries on, handing to E24. Clever. E24 ends 215830, with World setting up again for news at 2200.

BBC News - General

Just out of interest (and I forget which thread this one is)...

Arrow how much of Breakfast's output is put together by the presenters? Do they put together their own headlines and stuff or is it very similar to News 24 (which annoys the hell out of me when Simon on a morning is reading exactly the same lines and Ben at night!)
Arrow Who produces the lines for News 24?
Arrow How long do Breakfast presenters stay after Breakfast and how long are News 24 presenters there for?

That is all! Smile


Hahahaha

1 - None
2 - Someone else
3 - they're out the door as soon as they can

Where will Have Your Say come from on Sundays when all these changes happen? Currently it comes from N6 live on Sundays at 2.10pm I think.

Will it just come from N8?


HYS is axed.

BBC News Cutbacks

The fanatics on here just don't see the big picture.

Come next April, News 24 will be coming from N6, which is where the 1/6/10 come from now. So it won't just the the One o Clock News that's 'cut', but the 6 and 10 aswell.

Even on location it still has to route through a studio to get to air! Not quite sure where people get this idea that location based programming magically gets on air. Every live program has to be routed through some studio gallery to be able to be produced (graphics etc) and picked up by transmission.


Although it could still route through N6, having it as an OB would eliminate having to redress the set


But you would still need time to load the relevant graphics and cue them up in the gallery.


I just wanna clear this up once and for all.

OBs don't always have to go through a live gallery to then be passed onto network presentation.

Big sport events on the BBC often go straight from the Scanner truck to presentation. They don't always go via TC5.

Also, big royal and poitical coverage doesn't always go via Millbank, and often goes from the Scanner to presentation.

News output though would always go via a gallery, cause the gear at the OB would just be a couple of cameras and a links vehicle.

BBC Radio Five Live

Yet he still manages to do the show on Sunday to 1am and within 8 hours is on BBC Radio Ulster.

I know there's a flight to get in to Belfast at 8am but that's pushing it a bit!


He does his Monday Radio Ulster show from Manchester.

BBC Radio Five Live

marksi posted:
Of course. They've already moved production of the show from Birmingham to Manchester, and while it's not quite the same in terms of distance, you *could* move the whole production to Belfast.


No, they didn't 'move' production from Brimingham to Manchester.

When Edwina Currie/Richard Bacon/Stephen Nolan came from Birmingham, the programme was produced by 1 guy (who's now editor of the Asian Network breakfast show, which also now comes from Birmingham, when it previously came from Leicester) and a couple of freelancers. It was a dumb situation, and there was no continuity with the rest of 5 Live.

The team in Manchester that now produce the show were already there doing stuff for 5 Live day to day. They are 5 Live's people, and have worked on other bits of the output in the past.

BBC Radio Five Live

I guess as 5live is a news station, It belongs here.

Just thought its rather funny tonight on the Stephen Nolen show, now I have always thought Mr Nolen is a right asshole, but tonight its cracking me up! He introduces a caller, 'Good evening ...' caller replies... 'Hello there'. There is tehn a long pause, and Stephen then yelling 'Hello, can you here me' and then caller replies ' can you here me?' and during this, Stephen Nolen said ' Im affraid we have lost him... onto our next caller'.

Sorry it just made me laugh!

I say bring back Phil Williams in this slot, he coped better!

Edit: Chris Rogers is back doing the news on 5live Surprised


The problems Nolan has with the phones are nothing to do with him, or his producer. The answer is because the technical set up in Manchester is really, really crap.

Although the show comes from Manchester, all the phones and lines come though a London studio.

If anyone one here knows anything about 'clean feed', you'd know about the nightmare this causes.

Okay, so Martin Bell's a bit annoying and bursting with a sense of his own importance, but I have to agree with his thoughts on the current state of the Six...

MediaGuardian posted:
Former BBC foreign correspondent-turned-politician Martin Bell has accused the corporation's Six O'Clock News of turning into "a parody of something between Down Your Way and Nationwide".

The BBC's decision to take its early evening news bulletin on the road this week is a sign the programme is "running out of ideas", said Bell, in an article written for the Guardian's Comment is Free blog website.

And he warned that news anchor George Alagiah may be compelled to "consider his position" if what Bell calls "the nonsense" on the news programme continues.

"It is an axiom of television programmes that when the producers have run out of ideas, they take their show on the road," said Bell.

"This has now happened to BBC1's Six O'Clock News. At a time of terrorism abroad and political crisis at home, it has turned itself into a parody of something between Down Your Way and Nationwide."

He pointed out that yesterday, on a very busy news day, the bulletin summarily reported the deaths of a British tourist in Jordan and British soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq and then "went off to the seaside".


Full Article

The only thing I'm a bit puzzled about his how he's decided George Alagiah may want to quit. I'd have thought that was more a decision for George.

But he seems to be spot-on with everything else.


What Martin Bell is saying is this..... George Alagiah is a serious journalist; so why the hell would he want to be a part of this dumb, tabloid programme.

I agree with Bell.
