It would seem that N6 is still being kept warm for a little longer - I would have thought it would have been shut down a few weeks ago now.


Plan always was for it to be on standby "just in case" for a few months.

That's a bit unfair! He's doing his best. It can't be easy working for Dave.

LOL. Are you talking about the graphics, James?

I even thought TV Centre is closed already. If so, isn't N6 included?


As the Inspector says, not entirely closed.

I even saw some people installing some kit yesterday - they're using a part of the main block as a hub for the local election programme in a few weeks.

Presumably that's because CCA is still at TVC?

The Spectator is reporting that James Harding, former editor of The Times, has been named the new director of BBC News.

Joint simulcast between the News Channel and World News. First time in a while I've seen this. I assume Studio C is being used rather than Studio E.

You are correct, Clive Myrie moved from studio A to C to join Babita Sharma at 2200 as the news channel opted out of the 10.

Hadn't seen the 10 on the NC so wasn't aware of that but BBC One had Huw Edwards in Studio E. So I'm assuming no Newsday either or links to Singapore. I'm surprised though considering the sad events, the BBC in Washington isn't being used, as they are closer unless there are technical reasons that aren't permitting this.

I believe Katty Kay contributed throughout and broadcast WNA.
