Seriously? Sigh. You actually came here to type that?
I remember a time when TVF was a place of civility.

Couldn't you have just linked to the interview rather than that... very odd tweet?

I wholeheartedly agree. The key words of "nimble" and "ambitious targets" resonate particularly well.
Interesting take on fake news and impartiality in the very last sentence. Is it a sideways admission that the current BBC News sometimes does not report properly and with truth and facts?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing some real change over time. It's long overdue.

Music to my ears. He sounds exactly what the BBC needs.

I guess, Joe, because the Post Office genuinely does sell envelopes and doesn’t pretend to be NASA. Or anything other than the Postal Service.
Whereas the Express (and others) try to pass-off that “tat” as credible journalism. When stripped back, it’s anything but.
Notwithstanding, I take your point.

I don’t get why this stuff keeps being shared on here though? It’s long established that they operate this way, because it generates ad revenue with attention-grabbing headlines. Is it really worth any of your brain space after all this time? I don’t think there’s any value sharing the links here week after week and being flabbergasted. It’s like me being flabbergasted that my Post Office sells envelopes. It’s literally how they operate.
If anything, posting it here will only increase said ad revenue.

C is at minus 3, IIRC. E (and the pit) at minus 1. I think.
If the broadcast staff are all based in the live newsroom behind E, at that level, then it’s probably unlikely that they’d replicate the same working newsroom backdrop scenario at level -3 ( Studio C). It defeats the purpose of shared resources and technical staff all being consolidated (for World and Channel) in the same space.
If you mean the other way round (E having a non-newsroom backdrop like C does), then I’m not sure why it wasn’t built that way. Other than a decision that the main output studio for Channel and Network would feature a live working newsroom backdrop. And the newsroom is located at pit level. And, hence Studio E was placed there too.

Since 2013 I wondered why when in C The News Channel didn't use the same London backdrop as BBC World News and why C / E wasn't built to the same design

Does the Daily Express just recycle stories at weekends? This is utterly pathetic!Breaking news: presenter has a day off.

I wonder who’d win the vote in a Studio N9 versus Studio C referendum?
