Why has the BBC website front page decreased in size? Is it because of the unfolding news?


They always seem to do that when there is breaking news.

They did so yesterday and on 7th July.


Cause as the amount of people trying to log on swells, they reduce the size of the homepage so that they can serve more people at the same time.

The BBC News front page also shrinks during massive stories.

Three stations evacuated in London

Sky News are being totally irrisponsible. THe reports they're now claiming as fact (nail bomb, gunshots etc) are pure speculation, and at the moment, appear to be untrue.

Listen to 5 Live for proper coverage, and not unconfirmed crap.

New Director of BBC Sport appointed

I would have thought being head of news was a bigger job than head of sport, am I wrong?


Yes it is, but Mosey isn't head of News; he's head of TV News.

The question is: why does TV News have a deputy head anyway?

Radio news and interactive news dont.


I think TV News has more output than the other departments - and a higher profile?

Certainly there is BBC News 24, BBC World, BBC One (Breakfast, One, Six, Ten), BBC Two (Newsnight - and I guess Working Lunch), BBC Three (7 O'Clock News and 60 Seconds), BBC Four (The World) as well as all of the BBC World and BBC News 24 features programmes.

Radio News is presumably Five Live (which has its own controller), and the news programmes and bulletins on Radio Four, as well as bulletins on the other networks. BBC World Service is separate AIUI.


Radio News is:

Five Live news summaries, ( TOTH/ BOTH)
All Five Live programming except sport, (Breakfast/Drive etc)
Radio 4 news bulletins, (1800 news etc)
Radio 4 summaries, (TOTH)
Radio 4 news programmes, (Today/Wato etc)
Radio 1 Newsbeat, (BOTH/1245 etc)
Radio 2 news, (TOTH)
Radio 3 news, (TOTH during peak)
6 Music news, (BOTH)
World Service hourly bulletins, (TOTH/BOTH/online etc)
World Service news programmes, (World Today/ World Brieding etc)
etc.

Ofcourse each programme has its own editor, but then so does each TV news programme. News 24 has an editor, then an editor for each strand. World has an editor, the 1/6/10 have seperate editors. Plus all the Ass Eds too.

5 Live has been excellent in the last week

It really has been.

Matthew Bannister was fab on Thursday, and Hardeep, then Asmahh, then Dalya were great last night (Brum evac) too.

News 24 in comparison has been pretty rubbish. It's a shame it can't be more like its radio brother,

BBC to delay sensitive news coverage

Every news channel has had the ability to delay live footage for years, and they have been.

Delaying live footage is nothing new. BBC, Sky, ITV, CNN, etc etc. They all do it, and none of you are none the wiser.


THIS IS COMPLETE AND UTTER NONSENSE


If you want to believe that, then fine. Think whatever you want to think.

Marcus... over to you.

BBC to delay sensitive news coverage

Antz posted:
It's rediculous. Imagine when an event like September 11 happens (God forbid), News 24 and World are going to lose a heck of a lot of viewers. I'll be staying with Sky News!

BBC Radio Five Live

NorthDown2 posted:
If it's the Radio Ulster chap. it's Stephen Nolan. As I recall, Sat & Sun. He currently hosts Radio Ulster 9 - 10.30am weekdays but there was an implication that the Friday show will be dropped to allow him to do the network. He hosts a phone in show on BBC One Northern Ireland 'Nolan Live' and used to present a local conumer affiar programme and a not bad effort at a property programme 'The Right Move'. He had been working a the Belfast station Citybeat for some time presenting 7-9pm a phone in show before Radio Ulster got him.

I'm nearly certain I've seen a press release about this on the BBC website - casn't remember if it was in the press office section or Northern Ireland.


Correct. Stephen Nolan is to take over the 10pm-1am Sat/Sun 5 Live programme from Birmingham.

Natasha Kaplinsky to the Six

southwales posted:
Sophie will probably come back to the ten I would imagine and as Kaplinsky is the girl of the moment she will get the six - apparently my mate tells me that Sian is well liked at the beeb and is well ****ed off that she has been passed over this time for the Six job - she is rumoured to only be on a rota for Breakfast with Mishal Hussein being the main presenter with Dermot - who is wanting the Six also. Apparently there was some debate about whether Georghe and Dermot would do the six together and Kaplinska to do Breakfast with bill and Simon.


Phillip Hayton is rumoured to be heading to Network again also and by no means is it clear cut for Darren Jordan who some people at the beeb regard as wooden. Jane Hill is def on the up - I still think she would have been an excellent replacement for Sophie on the Six




This is one of the most ill-informed posts i have ever read on this forum, and one of the worst cases of someone claiming to have sources to gain cred.
