Out of interest, how does operating in TC7 at a weekend differ from N6. For example, are the cameras remotely controlled by the gallery or manned, and are there complications with a much bigger studio?


You need a few more staff, such as a Cameraperson, for example, but that really is about it.
Also TC7 has no 'Automation' so all Headline Straps are done by the Text Producer manually.
Now we have done it - almost seamlessly - a few times - it's quite an easy operation.

I note with 'weekday' Breakfast that when it comes to the headlines, the caption just says 'Headlines', there is no series of headlines like there is on the NC in N6.

There isn't normally a ticker on 'Breakfast' is there?

Shape of things to come if she does not move to Salford?

According to RT, she's not on Breakfast at all next week - Louise Minchin covering for half term

Sian tweeted earlier:

Evening: thrilled to be asked to do some R4 presenting - my old home! - so off the #bbcbreakfast sofa for a bit. Wish me luck...

Susanna is not doing Saturday and Sunday this weekend according to her twitter even though the RT says that she is. And I don't think she will be on next weekend either if she is going to the Oscars as she has done in previous years. I wonder if what will happen is that Susanna does the first part of the week covering for Sian and then Louise the second part of the week covering for Sian and Susanna.

Off topic a little, you've got to love twitter.

lalalavers Dear Sian Williams, you are looking old!

payspeanuts Carol Kirkwood & Sian Williams both looking hot this morning, Sian in her pink dress which always gives an upskirt or 2 #MILF #WhatA3Some


Jesus. Some people say it is the fault of producers and executives that older women are driven off our screens, but some of the blame surely has to be on these morons - now more than ever.

You should see some of the comments on you-tube after videos and on facebook too!

Don't forget about Kate and Naga who could do Susanna's shifts. Also we could see Victoria Derbyshire back again.

Yes, although Kate has said on Twitter that she won't be on breakfast again until April and Naga seems now to be doing Jonathan Charles old slot.

So read on digital spy that according to Sunday Express Bill, Susanna and Charlie are moving to Salford but Sian is not. If this is true I reckon Susanna and Bill doing Monday-Thursday then Charlie and possibly Naga doing Friday - Sunday.
