World showing Impact AGAIN. No Six as expected.

How ridiculous, a 3 or 4 hour old bulletin instead of live simulcast. Mad

How many times can they show this edition of Impact?

Agreed! Especially after a live half hour!

How bizarre. Why can't they show the Six?

Maybe because impact has ad breaks built in, if they show the Six they would have to crash in and out for ads?

BBC London appearing to come as usual, at least there was an introduction in regional slot. Are the problems only affecting studios B and C?

If they are able to show a live bulletin from A can't they use it even if it's not the scheduled programme?

They didn't when they simulcast the 5. They took that feed till they crashed out at :25 in order to resume 'normal' programming.

The big question is what will happen at 19:00 GMT.

If the problems aren't resolved, I would assume World News will join the News channel for the evening? If the problems continue into the night, it could mean that overnights come from E I suppose.

The Six is coming from E as usual with short titles. I don't understand why WN can't tap into this feed. It was also a domestic bulletin so most wouldn't be relevant to the international audience.
