I Sky Plused Breakfast yesterday - and at 6:25 BBC London news was shown... but then for the rest of the programme (ie from 6:55 to 8:55) we got the newspaper review...

explain that?


Because at 0550 BBC London told the TC7 Gallery that they were unable to opt - so TC7 took the editorial decision to sustain with BBC London rather than London have NO Regional news. They sorted themselves out after that and were able to opt themselves for the rest of the programme. Very Happy


Heaven forbid London might not have a regional bulletin! Of course it's fine for the rest of the country. Rolling Eyes

Bit of a cock-up on the handover from BBC2 to N24 at 7am there. N24 was running late at the TOTH and the BBC2 announcer crashed into the Planet Earth promo about half way through before Bill and Mishal appeared.

Sorry to be boring, but just out of interest, is that capture from a six o'clock news bulletin or an early evening weekend bulletin?


It could even be a Saturday Breakfast bulletin or a Saturday lunchtime bulletin as all the weekend bulletins came from that set.

Could quite easily be a daytime summary from that time.

I'm intrigued - any hints possible? I'm guessing an old face or poach from GMTV, Sky or N24?

Notice the plural - "Channels". I'm guessing a freelancer, which sends me back to the ITV News Channel - not Siân Jones or someone like that?

You're such a tease. It's like the dance of the seven veils with you. Or in this case FIVE veils may be more appropriate.

Seems to smack of Charlie Stayt... or are we talking more recent/obscure than that?
