Wales Today Central Square launch

That was silly then - I actually gasped slightly then at the opening sequence on the screens, with the AR at the end. How lovely did that look?

BBC Cymru Wales New HQ

Nice feature from the Wales Today team to say goodbye to Broadcasting House Llandaff. Had everything - behind the scenes, old footage, old idents, old presenters (no rotas), and a quick look at Central Square studios

BBC News (UK) presentation - Reith launch onwards

No, that’s been used since the introduction of Reith last July

Do they still use the Breaking News sting they introduced at that point? I really like that.


Yes, it was used frequently to cut from an interview to the Downing Street daily press conferences as they started

BBC Network news - no longer relevant for the nations?

How do US networks manage with 50 different state governments?

Have a feeling this is ideological before anything else.

What's ideology got to do with it? It's just pointless to broadcast England only news to the nations, especially at a time when people need to be well informed about the rules and regulations they must follow in their nation. Having English only news presented first as the most important news is wrong for the nations where different rules apply and different governments are in charge.


A prime example of this was the Prime Minister's 10 May broadcast to the UK. Wales Today had to do a 30 minute program straight after it, telling viewers that NONE of what the PM had just announced applied to Wales and viewers in Wales needed to ignore everything they'd just heard. It was absolutely pointless the broadcast going out in Wales and Scotland.


Really do think your are trying mixing relevant to applicable.

It is just as important to know what the rules and regulations on Covid-19 on the other side of the border. It could be very relevant to a Welsh company who would need to know how they operate with being able to now move the stuff that they produce across the border.

Commuters would definitely need to know that public transport rules in England are now very different and can come with a hefty fine as the country opens up.

Applicable to the Welsh population? - No
Relevant? - Absolutely

Coronavirus | Television News Coverage





Would there normally be backup pool feeds supplied from a central Number 10 feed of something like this?

Appreciate things are far from normal, and even if they were it is a Sunday afternoon

BBC Breakfast - 16th July onwards

BBC Wales stating that from Monday they will no longer supply a news update during Breakfast.

Is this a nationwide change or just a temporary BBC Wales situation?

Interesting temporary use for BBC Broadcasting House, Llandaff.

Good Morning Britain in 2020

From what I have seen this just reminds me of Breakfast during the era where Big Moira would present the first 30 minutes solo from the news desk

2019 General Christmas election.

BM11 posted:

Parliament sitting on Christmas eve for important Brexit votes would be quite challenging for Broadcasters.


They managed OK on Christmas Eve 1979 when Russia invaded Afghanistan Cool


Would love to have been a fly on the wall of the newsroom when that story came over the wires.

Soviet tanks rolling into another country. Almost Cold war news porn.

If you play the video, and can endure the random advert, there are some other views include pictures of the public walkway bit of the building.
