I think with the simulcasts, a better end to them would be for News 24, to do exactly what BBC One does at the end, have the presenter sign off - followed by the weather forecast. And on News 24, after the weather, they would say what is coming up in the next 50 mins, and BBC One, doing their next programme. (For the Midday programmes).

Thanks from Andrew.
in english please?
I think what he means is that News 24 show the full bulletin as BBC One does, so Tim would have said goodbye, then go straight into the weather (as BBC One does) after this News 24 would return.
They did this the other weekend when all bulletins had to be simulcast. The only problem I think with this is that they would need to dump the weather just before midday. Would be silly to viewers having two weather forecasts within ten minutes. I don't know whether that would cause a problem for Maxine, Tim of whoever else would be presenting the bulletin. Do they normally read through it quickly before hand? I would assume the script differs to BBC News 24's earlier output, plus they sometimes, like today have interviews with a reporter on the scene.
Oh I understand now. I thought he was on about the big bulletins like the 10 and what not.
regarding sportsround:
Personally with all the talent available at the BBC i cannot see why they can't just swing the camera round at 12, change the background and use the same studio with tighter shots.
Does a tiny Sunday bulletin really need it's headlines flawlessly rehearsed? Does it even need headlines?
Well they proved last weekend I think that it is perfectly possible for the BBC One bulletin. They generally on a Saturday bulletin would only use two camera shots I would have thought anyway. The close up of the presenter, and the wide. The wide shot isn't actually in fact very wide so would be fine.
The problem comes in the amount of studio space Sportsround require. I do still think that it has to be possible. Another problem though would depend on timing, but schedulers should be able to arrange that Sportsround finishes by a set time each week at the latest. I assume the news starts at midday on the dot.
It does seem to be strange scheduling to have two totally different live programmes coming from the same studio straight after each other. Would it not be an easier solution would be to just move Sportsround half an hour earlier on the CBBC Two schedule?
Is Sportsround a BBC News or BBC Sport production?
I think they should be able to bring BBC News from the normal studio because...
The desk is on the left of the studio, and they obviously move it to the right for Sportsround. As the Sportsround comes from the left of the studio?
So why, don't they leave the desk where it is, and have Sportsround from the right of the studio. With Sportsround finishing at a set time.
Whilst Sportsround is finishing the BBC News presenter can be getting ready for their programme whcih is coming up next.
Once Sportsround is finished their will be a slight break after it, before the BBC News programme. So they can change the background and just use tight shots of the studio for the news (as their is just presenter upclose and a wide shot of the studio, and its not very wide, as mentioned above).
I just think it's ludicrous that Sportsround seems to take priority over a BBC News bulletin. Why can't it go back to being on location like it used to be?
I'm not sure its taken priority I think its more about saving money. Sportsround could be presented from the studio Newsround use, and the BBC One midday saturday bulletin could be presented from the news studio.
This however would require people to build an additional set, converting from Newsnight to Sportsround (atm it goes from Newsnight to Sunday AM and Politics Show) it would also require an additional studio team to produce the news, on top of the cost of presenting Sportsround as an OB.
IIRC, sportsround only uses a stool so it doesn't even need them to shove the desk over to the other side of the studio. If it does creep into shots, surely they could stick a few sports related bits of tat on it (a football etc)
I'm not sure but Newsround use a CSO screen for all but there CBBC One programme at around 5.30 each weekday. So one must be available. I do think though it would be a little rough to make them use CSO for what is there longest programme all week.
