I think you'll find BBC News Channel and BBC World News are currently simulcasting 24/7.


For most of the daytime hours during weekdays, the two channels are broadcasting separately.

From what I can work out, there simulcasting the following on weekdays: 1000-1300, 1900-0600, at least for the first half an hour then they go separate ways for the back half. Weekends are all simulcasts, including BBC One bulletins.


Not quite!

Simulcasting from 10:00 to 13:00 as you say.

Then again from 19:00 to 20:30.

BBC World News has two half-hours of World News America at 21:00 and 21:30 and another edition of Outside Source at 22:00 followed by Asia Business Report & Sport Today.

From 23:00 the channels simulcast for the first half hour of each hour until 05:00, when there is a full hour of news.

The evenings will change from Monday after the clocks change in Europe.

Should the BBC really be sending London based presenters up to Salford on public transport to present Breakfast in the current climate?

How do you know they are?

Ben Thompson tweeted that he was on the train yesterday evening himself.

BBC News: Presenters, correspondent & rotas

And let’s be honest, Mishal’s main role is as a presenter on the Today programme on Radio 4.

She’s kept the Sunday presenting role on television, but I can’t see her doing more than that (as someone suggested earlier) given her radio presenting as well?

Chris Buckler stepping down as North America correspondent to co-host new Radio Ulster breakfast show:

It’s not a new breakfast show - they’re replacing the existing presenters on the current breakfast programme.


Doesn't that make it 'new'? 🤔

Not really.

The format isn’t changing nor is the name of the programme.

It’s just getting two new presenters added to the team - two other presenters are leaving but some existing ones are being retained.

Norman also reports on Radio 4 during the day including the Six O’Clock News - it’s a bit simplistic to say he’s just on the News Channel.

The Election Schedules are out!

Sunday 9th February
RTÉ One
9am-12am: Election 2020 coverage (with regular bulletins at One, Six One and Nine)

Virgin Media One
9am-12pm: Election 2020 Results Special - Colette Fitzpatrick presents coverage of the results of Election 2020. Reporters are at count centres across the country while experts analyse the emerging voting patterns.

5:10pm-6pm: Virgin Media News: Election 2020 Results Special

RTE One have really gone full force with their non stop coverage on Sunday 9th February. according to my e.p.g. they are continuing until 2.00am on Monday 10th, and then back on air that Monday from 10.00am and continuing right through at 4.40pm.

Perfectly normal for an Irish GE results programme, although it’ll be early/mid-afternoon on Sunday before they have actual results to discuss.

Bryan Dobson will still be the main presenter I would imagine, with Miriam O’Callaghan and David McCullagh alongside him.

Well Ben Wright per his Twitter Bio is actually based in New York “for a while” which is generally code for a few months.

US based journalists tend to move between locations quite a bit despite being based in one city.

BBC Breakfast - 16th July onwards

Even when it descends into personal insults?

I find it hard to believe that describing someone as having “a Mr Spock hairdo and owl eyes” is acceptable in any situation.

One can put arguments forward in an opinion piece quite legitimately and forcefully without resorting to personal insults.

That quote was just unnecessary.


For context, this wasn't an opinion piece, it was the political sketch - a sort of cartoon in written form. In the preceding couple of days alone, the Times sketch also referred to Alan Sugar as a "stubby-fingered megalomaniac", to Chuka Umunna a "scion of the Anglo-Irish-Nigerian gentry [who] radiates the most tremendous levels of to-the-manner-born poise", and to Boris Johnson as "a crouched, squat, albino-ish conductor waving his hands in an effort to stir the orchestra".

I'm not defending the practice - I think it is well past its sell-by date - but this is not, as some people seem to be taking it, a random insult apropos of nothing in an otherwise straightforward opinion piece.


Sorry I didn’t see this reply.

I think my answer to that is to point out that Naga Munchetty is a BBC journalist.

She’s not someone who has put herself forward for political office or as a personality per se like Alan Sugar, who are as you point out fair game. It was just grossly insulting to her.

Sketch or not, I think that piece crossed a line.

At long last . Catriona Perry is back on RTÉ's 6.1 News. Although she is with Ray Kennedy in studio.


What a bizarre thing to say.

You do realise that she has been on maternity leave???
