BBC News Channel General Discussion

This happened during the headline sequence at 3 o'clock (N.B. the middle screen was what was showing on screen before they cut to this shot, albeit not in the wrong aspect ratio as it was here).

Is what the leftmost screen is displaying of any significance?

They've moved to the secondary set due to a bit of redecorating / lighting work in progress in the main 'sport centre' to brighten it up.

Looks like UKI something, implying that it's a test signal originating from a satellite uplink, most likely but not necessarily an SNG truck.

Nice to see a variation in mess ups, other than the usual top of hour empty chair scenario.

There was just a problem during Sportsday with a live shot of the screens in studio E popping up, during a live two way with Dan Rowan in Miami. The screens looked like they being prepared for the next piece after Sportsday on the Normandy Landing.

It does at least hide the gaps between the screens, though.

News at Five comes from World News' Studio C, who also use a different headline track. It was probably an error.

Yes happens quite frequently, but seemingly mistakenly.

I was watching the opening of the Five, surely they could have a stored shot of the trundle cam moving towards, and zooming into, either the weather plasma or the screens above Studio E and have Simon's shot on one of them before fading to him?

Either that or run the titles as normal, newsroom pan, studio pan towards a screen with Simon on it?

The trundle cam is only available to studio E as I understand it.

As time has gone on, I've just got used to the difference. Then again, I never saw the "problem" in the first place.

The thing is, using the World News titles would mean that the wrong music would have to be used, which has always sounded strange as it tails off - the drumbeat seems tacked on (and too loud).

"MEDIA NEEDS TO BE RESTORED" fault on BBC News at 6.30 just then.

I thought it was subtitles. I thought Sophie Raworth was saying Media A needed to be restored which would have been an odd way to start the programme but they are in France and I thought maybe that was the French way. This happened on BBC One HD too. Also, the camera moved quickly to the left before she started speaking, as if someone had knocked it.
