Yes, there is currently a NC and World simulcast with Jane Hill.
Cheers - have noticed the tell tale "Your watching BBC News" lines
Some of it has seemed very UK focused in details, which you expect on News Channel, but nor normally on World News

I don't have access to BBC World News, but I am guessing that they are currently simulcasting the News Channel bulletins? Or as this is predominantly a European wide story, are BBC World News running the show?

Thanks for the info. I only asked because some new facilities in the US have been built where it's dynamic where everything is on one system so resources can change as needed.
Yes - that's happening in the UK too. RF-over-fibre allows for Radio Mics and IEMs to be all received/transmitted in a single location, and then routed between studios as required. There is some 'Wiber" stuff in W1 - but it isn't used by the news studios in that building.
Is that because it is not reliable enough for news at the moment?
BBC World News from New Broadcasting House
Each studio has its own separate range of radio mic and talkback frequencies so that they don't interfere with each other. There are separate radio return talkback channels too for the floor manager and sound floor assistant to the gallery. Frequency planning is a very big part of the design of studio and outside broadcast production.

I have to question the decision to opt out of World on the News Channel.
That's not to say the programme is not actually serving a role in all of this, and sticking with live pictures from Saint Denis, but I would like the option to go back to the more traditional news coverage from World

Victoria Derbyshire is using generic BBC News astons instead of the ones normally used.

The Elves are too busy controlling the cameras...

It's only a change of colour in the LEDs around the newsroom, it's not some super special lights that only get turned on at certain times of the day by a giant knife switch controlled by elves that live in the NBH basement.

Unsure where to post this as it covers both the News Channel and World News. Some further details on the robotic cameras used at BBC Newshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/academy/technology/article/art20140313104307334

I'm sure that it has previously been mentioned that some of the screens do automatically switch and show the main title sequence...and not just at a TOTH either. They then switch back to Sky News etc, etc
BBC National/News Channel from New Broadcasting House
In regard to the screens all flickering, going to black and then coming back on, could that be to do with the fact that they're set to switch to BBC News feeds of some description at the TOTH for the News Channel titles, and they were doing that? You can see from about 3:26 that the fourth screen from left changes from the feed of what's going on BBC News to the video feed used on some of the screens in the studio, and that whatever the fifth screen from left was showing changes to the BBC News feed, the sixth from left changing from the BBC One feed to a grid of other feeds. These are the kind of things present during the TOTH on the NC, so maybe that's what's happening?

No - that is done by pooled and shared viz engines.
Essentially there are a number of TX lines out of NBH and a pool of Viz Lower third engines.
Each gallery use the Network Router to choose what is sent on each line and which engine is associated with that line, for example - News Channel (some may remember the long lost NET 24 feed - which is now TX19) has Studio E output with a viz engine set to NC style (logo and ticker) and TX1 (which is what goes to Red Bee) - has Studio E output with a different viz engine set to BBC 1 Bully style.
Is this it?

Interesting stuff - is that how the national bulletins having a ticker on the NC and not on the BBC1 is done these days or is it still done in a similar way to in N6?
