Looks like they were having some technical problems with N6 this evening.

As a result of the Ten coming from N8, the London headlines went out at the TOTH on News 24.

Is Newswatch usually on at 9.45pm? The website says 8.45 - so did they show it twice, or is the site wrong?

The regional opt-out created problems though. Here in N Ireland we had the regular BBC One headline bed.

No N24 astons either - just the standard BBC One astons. No tower or ticket on N24.

One report has just fallen off air there, and there have been no astons so far in the reports, the normal text slug from BBC1 has just appeared though, shame!

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about.

So what about the back end of the News Hour?

Fiona hands to regions, N24 cuts to a weather forecast, then Peter/Tim/whoever takes over? And no closing headlines on One? Any other suggestions?

So to summarise what i have seen so far:

- N24 Headline bed used
- No name astons appearing at all on the BBC1 London feed
- BBC1 text/story slugs as normal
- Live aston missing location bar
- Tech problems with one report

I guess N24 will take BBC London for the opt, followed by the end heads and then their own weather forecast.

Sorry, meant to say earlier no name astons at all here in N Ireland either - just the standard BBC1 slugs on both BBC1 and N24. Presumably the same in all regions.

Yep, no astons here in NW.

The headline opt here in the NW sounded awful crashing in the normal BBC 1 headline bed on the regional headlines from N24's bed.

Sounds like we will get the update here on BBC1, presumably N24 have gone to weather?
