BBC News Thread

Yeah, she was almost in tears - but she kept her professionalism right to the end. She's had a lengthly and distinguished career - thanks Anna!

Do you know if BBC ONE London on analogue opts out to run their own symbol into the news, or do they take network?

All the best Anna. Another of the news greats gone. Anyone remember when she lost her voice and Sophie had to step in? (thats obviously been mentioned in this thread).

Network unless it's changed recently.

I'm presuming you probably already know but Annas last programme is available to still view and also you can watch A breakfast special with Anna, Bill and Sian.

Thanks for that Foxpresident. I thought I'd missed it with no chance of seeing it again. I don't know if the full One O' Clock bulletin will be replaced in 7 minutes time though!

Ooops - the Six O'Clock News titles were just used by mistake there, on the One. Obviously someone can't tell the time...

Lol! I thought something was wrong and couldn't put my finger on it. Bit slow today...

Its changed back to orange now.

i thought moira had gone of her own accord but was she forced out due to the revamp on breakfast - i read that the main presenters are now going to be doing the on the hours slots. Maybe its a money saving exercise.

perhaps she could franchise out and go into consultancy to train some of the dreadful reporters that are out and about at the mo

Well, that's the contentious issue with Moira - she is a newsreader, not a journalist, so probably wouldn't be able to contribute much to training for reporters.

BBC London's continuity is the network alternative if regional continuity fails. It comes from TVC - so yes she'd have heard that on the talkback.
