Arrow All BBC One bulletins now simulcast

Arrow BBC One bulletins to leave their current studio this weekend, pending a new set for the national bulletins in 2 weeks time.

Arrow They've messed up the signing on the simulcast of the 1pm news on News 24.

Fridays probably wrong as Jon and probably Kate and maybe someone else at least will be off - also, are you sure Chris & Joanna will continue to 12? Wont Tim or someone do 10.30-1?

And, isn't Maxine just doing Sunday 1-5 with Peter keeping his normal shifts?

Is that what normally happens on a Friday? I know before the simulcast Chris and Jane had the Friday night off as Chris and Joanna were on.

Also, not sure whether Maxine's doing Sunday as well, assuming she'll have more than four hours of airtime a week.

I should point out that although some changes have been pointed out for Friday 14th such as Carrie Gracie presenting the 5 o'clock news, but also on this date Breakfast continues until 9am, and the 1 and 6 are not on, but instead News 24 is simulcasting the 12.45 and 19.30 bulletins. The 10 will be present. I wonder who will present on 14th the 6pm hour, will it be Joanna and Chris, or will Carrie continue. Because of the bank holiday weekend, we will see alot of stand ins presenting, plus there will be simulcasts all weekend with BBC 1, comming from the News 24 studio. I think the same will take place over the may bank holiday weekend.

With respect, BBC News 24 isn't running a dedicated world news program at 8, its sky world news tonight that should be worried

It's not world news, it's inner-nash-nul news.

The ratings for Sky World News look pitiful - eevn by news channel standards. 4,000 viewers by the end of the programme? Can't see them sticking with the show in its current format if that continues.

Just diverting slightly- how does More 4 news compare in the 8pm slot?

Thanks - interesting that by half way through the programme, viewers almost half. Also interesting looking at the 8.30 figures for News24 - they have a boost, and again at 8.45. Any reason behind this - channel hoppers or perhaps those just in from work?
