NOW TV

In the US 720/59.94p is used by ABC, ESPN and Fox for their 'HD' output. NBC, CBS and PBS use 1080/59.94i for their 'HD' output. (Some affiliates of 1080i broadcasters cross convert to 720p to reduce bandwidth as 720p compresses better)

There wouldn't be much point broadcasting a 720p US outlet in 1080/25p (or 29.97p) in the UK unless that network was originating 1080i/p internally and cross-converting to 720p for TX (which is what lots of European 720p broadcasters do but I think fewer US networks do.)

Eurovision 2018

Be lovely if it was played by a full orchestra - even if a pre-record.

Good Morning Britain

Some of us have watched Antiques Roadshow long enough to know what a Credenza is...

NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC affiliates and TODAY

I think you mean multilateral? In the case of an event where a single feed is made available - that single feed is the 'multi', not a 'uni'.

A unilateral is a feed specific for a single broadcaster - say a standup position for a reporter/presenter, or a camera specifically following something in an event for a single broadcaster (The BBC may have a unilateral feed of their own camera following a Brit running in a race, so that if the multilateral doesn't cover it well, you can fall back to the uni, at least for replays)

CBBC revive Saturday morning magazine show format

Quite a lot of the team were local - it helped train quite a lot of BBC Scotland people AIUI.

BBC News at Ten

If you can't see a presenter's eyes clearly, there's definitely a barrier though, it's like someone shouting at you from a distance. You'd naturally move closer to talk to someone - except you can't. The screens are wallpaper - the presenter is the important element in that shot.

Paramount Channel to launch in the UK

Whenever I look at new LCD TVs I always hope that someone other than Sony will deliver a better quality picture. Each time I properly test them - the Sonys still perform better. (Ignoring OLEDs where things are a little bit different)

I buy purely on picture quality for the price I can afford though.

BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

I wear them to work most days, as do most of my colleagues. You'll see a lot of them in the creative industries...

BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Victoria isn't a newsreader - she's a presenter of an interview-based show.. I think she was dressed appropriately for an OB of the type she was presenting. This is 2018 not 1958... Jeans and trainers are practical, and if anything help remove a barrier between Victoria and the people she's talking to, and make her feel 'less different'.

Amazed it's even a 'thing'

ITV abandons the South Bank

Gold plated studios. Sadly we now live in a tin foil era...

ITV abandons the South Bank

Best lighting grid of any studio in the UK AIUI. Such a shame. Thank God the industry still has TC1.

ITV Daytime Graphics - This Morning

Think it's a Viz sequence, but I may be wrong.
