BBC National News: Presentation

It's been a late call - the BBC had originally moved it at the request of Comic Relief due to donations dropping off during the news, and IIRC usually the 9-10pm hour is when Comic Relief peaks, so they wanted to keep that audience half an hour longer.

Davina has just said it will be at 10 because of "all the complicated things going on in the world" on Comic Relief

Davina just said it was meant to be at 10.30pm but its been moved back because of complicated things going on.

EDIT: Beaten to it

Yep, seems its not just the Ten that's had a bit of a jiggle - Newsnight's now at 10:38pm, probably a bit later though

due to football, the BBC One evening news (1735-1750 on Network) is scheduled for 1800-1810 in Scotland.
[edit]
The game's just gone into extra time, but that'll be why there's a sacrificial episode of Simple Suppers scheduled for 1730.

Does that mean the Network presenter will stay on the NC past 1750 up to & including the Scottish simulcast or is it musical chairs twice in ten minutes?

If it's the latter, that's daft.

There's only one way to find out... fiiiii. Oh, wait, no. You could watch it.

Jane staying on

cripes, those opts looked complicated. World took most of the domestic bulletin, but ducked out for a break instead of the report on the Old Firm game. Jane Hill has stayed on for Scotland's bulletin, which made it on air on time.

The bulletin on BBC One Scotland has the BBC News bug and clock (but no ticker), which is how it looks on the NC.

Are they not able to send the N6 output without the ticker up to Scotland, or is it just cheaper/easier to take the normal NC output?

I have a feeling I asked one of the BBC News directors this on a previous opt and if memory serves me correctly it is related to the subtitling. Perhaps BBC One bulletins have to be subtitled by the news channel instead of later down the chain when it is a network wide bulletin?

Thursdayasia has been banned from the newsroom for 1 week, this is his final warning. Further posts on a similarly distracting nature "huw stood up" will result in a full ban.

All off topic posts since have been remove, back on topic now please.
