BBC Scotland moved to Pacific Quay over a month ago now.
No they haven't. Everything is still at Queen Margaret Drive, there are only a handful of staff (non-news) currently at Pacific Quay, and it's still a hard-hat area while technical fit-out continues.

probably less given the licence fee for the bbc. but it's how they use the money in comparison that's important! I see RS are trying out new things like more reporters in the studio and there seem to be new faces. But ST still have the edge, they're more viewer friendly. The budget reporting was much better than RS who were dull dull dull. I think the graphics on ST have really improved as well. When do the bbc move? Will there be another overhaul of set and titles or the way they do news?

I didn't think that sounded right - try telling it to the people who live in Tyne and Wear with that code!

I think that software is a little wrong... all of those areas are covered by the Tyne and Wear 0191 number

...and can we start to understand that it is not usual practice to have embargos when someone dies. If someone famous has died it'll be on the news channels, it wouldn't be embargoed except for some strange situation that I can't even really think of. The only delay would be checking the story is genuine / waiting for a wire from PA. Every one of these type of threads says "it must be embargoed". No, the person isn't dead, that's the problem with running the story!

Big Ted is simply a front-end for a character generator such as aston. It isn't a graphics or aston system. Basically it's used for timings and sending the appropriate commands to the character generator at the right time. BigTed has been going for a decade now in various versions... the newest being BigViz to control VizRT systems.

BBC Midlands Today will be using Big Ted for their astons, which will enable swish animations on and off screen. The team are currently working on new graphics, to be launched some time later this year.

Really, I thought he was a reporter for Radio Cleveland before he joined YTV?
And of course he'll no longer be allowed to appear on Calendar from the moment an election is called due to the Representation Of The People Act (or whatever they call it these days).
Slightly off topic, but how does that affect any known political figure that broadcasts TV or radio?
If said political figure is standing in the election, does that they can't broadcast?
(I'm hoping this gives us a break from that a**e Galloway on Talksport!)
What about Portillo on 'This Week'? He's no longer an MP, but known to be a Tory supporter!
I think you're misunderstanding the point, he wouldn't be able to continue as an impartial news reporter or presenter once an election campaign has started. In the BBC, I know that you would go on 'gardening leave' as soon as your campaign starts, and would be expected to resign your post immediately if you are elected. It in no way affects having politicians as guests on programmes.

VizRT doesn't affect the ability of regions to come up with new titles. Scotland will receive a new look in July, as there's new equipment at Pacific Quay. BBC London is getting VizRT soon, before the other English regions. I don't know whether Wales and Northern Ireland are choosing to buy VizRT, it's a seperate decision for them.

Since 1999, the Lambie-Nairn ripples have symbolised out BBC Regional news, but when will this look actually change? I know that it's nice for each region to be different, but Scotland has been using those map titles since 1999! London changed in 2005, but no other regions have followed, with Spotlight and South Today using different styles to the others as well.
What i want to know is when these changes we've been expecting (Vizrt, etc) will actually happen.

No, it's because it's a podcast, and because it's already been shot, why not plonk it on the telly late at night for no real cost?

I really hope that this isn't because they've just noticed after it has been running for about 20 ( or more! ) years that STV in the North of Scotland ( ie Grampian ) broadcast a ten minute News Review on Saturday and Sunday. The reason for the STV one is that it is the only time the regional news is signed. I don't know if " central " STV have this too.

It's simply the current podcast being broadcast on air, in the same way StoryFix is played on News 24.
