I've noticed that Breakfast now does headlines at 8.15ish - is this just because it's only on the NC, or will it continue after the Olympics. I hope so.

I wonder if they've just got to add in a bit of extra 'padding' to make up the time normally taken by the regional news.

Well they only take about 20 seconds over it, just a very brief summary.

Are they doing any sort of "switch over to BBC One for the regional news now" stuff on Breakfast?

I always thought they did the headlines at every xx15 and xx45 until after 0830 when it becomes entertainment news and NC opts out?

Well if they did I wouldn't have mentioned it would I. They never did headlines at 8.15 before, just a coming up bit before the weather.

LOL! Talkback was open as the News 24 presenters were settling in this morning, you could hear it all for about 1 minute before someone realized.

Also - anyone know why Bill and Sian are not presenting during the Olympics. Both had taken their holidays before the games started...

Yeah, as I said. So, does anyone know why they haven't presented during the games? N24 not primetime enough for them. I'd be interested to know how the viewing figures for Breakfast have been whilst it has been on N24. Anyone know ?

Cock-up at the end of the 8.55am update in the NE & Cumbria, the presenter said goodbye, then a wide shot of the studio stayed on for a minute or two. Did this happen to any other regions or a local fault?

Then it cut into Carol Kirkwood's national weather forecast about half way through. When the closing ident played, you could hear her say 'thanks Jimbo!'
