I thought I'd share a couple pics of another example of BBC Breakfast relighting their studio; this time for a fascinating report on 'Dark Matter'.
It was from a very enthusiastic guy called Richard, whose full name didn't flash up every 3 minutes (as they usually do), so I don't know it, but apparently he was later doing a Facetime broadcast.
Not the sort of intelligent thing you'd catch on GMB

B -Team behind the scenes today on BBC Breakfast. They managed to show a viewer's photo incorrectly orientated at 90 degs.
However, in a rather insensitive act, they played a very moving clip from this forthcoming radio programme:-
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09yy4gb
With a stupid fake 'oscillograph' bouncing up and down with the audio. Crass; WTF do they feel the need to do that (on all audio material now it seems) ?

The audio-visuaisation effect is the BBC News standard way of handling audio-only sources on-screen. It's automated so can be done by anyone at their desktop, rather than requiring an editor and/or designer to be involved. (i.e. it's cheaper)

That's all super I'm sure, but why's it done, I genuinely don't understand how it can be anything other than a pointless distraction ?

Since it’s TV they need something on screen. Maybe a logo of Radio 4 with the time details would be better.
Maybe they could replace the animated oscillograph with just a static one. That’s been done here. I don’t think viewers (aside from us anoraks and maybe radio persons watching) care that it didn’t match up. How about a V(irtually)U(seless) meter used in the US.

Well they did of course, a photograph of the person being referred to. And that's what's been used since the
beginning of TV for such things, it's only during more recent times that along with a photograph etc, we have to have audio meters, or a video of an reel to reel tape machine, or this latest gimmick of a dancing waveform.
When you talk on the phone to someone, do you also use an app to make some sort of audio metering dance across the screen, just in case you get bored listening to them ?
