So cue Peter Dobbie on the NC again...

And Gavin Grey

oh dear, so this will be in the middle of their transition of moving to NBH...
where will they broadcast then?

Will BBC World News simulcast the News Channel again for the joint bulletins?

EDIT: IIRC, World News simulcasted Breakfast during the strike in 2010, with the usual opening format of the News Channel being done for the simulcasts right after.

oh dear, back to the old graphics again...
I wish it was the other way around.

Yeah I agree with that...

So am I. Would like to see WN doing their bulletins as usual.

Didn't the last strike take place before Breakfast had moved to Salford? I seem to remember it all being N6 based. If so, I wonder how that will change things - if Breakfast will return to London (desk bound) during the strike, or remain in Salford where the shifts would usually take place?

If the do move to NBH before the strike, will they not just have Network and NC in Studio B, with the sofa at one side and the desk at the other?

Breakfast will probably come from Salford I assume the BBC doesn't want the headlines 'breakfast back in London' or 'couldn't get a presenter up to Salford' , or breakfast may not even be on it may just be a BBC news titled show? , just guessing.

They could use the presenter in Salford to do a further shift on the NC until 12 noon maybe, also moving from the sofa to the desk studio they have there. I agree that, for PR reasons, BBC have no real option but to do Breakfast from Salford.

As for who the presenter will be, your guess is as good as mine.
