Nice to see the weather being presented live today. Seems to be becoming a rare thing during the last few weeks!
Also, surely the galley can get the introductions at the TOTH and BOTH slightly (i.e. a lot) smoother. The set up can't be that different even if the cameras aren't on tracks.
Isn’t Newsnight still on the air when BBC News starts playing it out?
Correct me if I'm wrong - but BBC Two finishes airing Newsnight to hand over to the weather before the BBC News Channel repeat airs.
Well, with the modern miracle of video servers, it’s hardly a technical challenge should there be an overlap !
You know I always wondered in the days of tape how were things like instant replays done or in LA car chases where they may rerun a portion in an inset Box while the other was live. I assume there’d be multiple tape decks running. Each recording the same thing but when they need a replay they’d use one while letting the other one continue on.
You can tell the difference between the live TOTH and the prerecorded because of the carpet. A new carpet is a lot lighter in colour, which can be seen in the 2013 one whether the live one has a darker carpet due to people walking on it.

in the 70s there was the Ampex HS-100 video disc recorder.
In the UK, LWT had one, used for major sports events, it didn't leave the building, the OB truck 'looped'
a feed to, and back from LWT. The Beeb had one too, presumably operated the same way, and I believe one of
the London facility houses also owned one ?
Think that's an updated recording. If it was live, then the feed would keep going and you'd see movement all the time until the scene transferred back to the studio, but just before it went back to the studio, the image froze for a couple of seconds, indicating the "tape" ended.
I thought they used C, we just saw those blinds on the TOTH because the News Channel was still in E?

They've used E before...
Wouldn't be much point in using blinds into the newsroom if using E for broadcast unless there was also a blind blocking the backdrop as this is the newsroom.
Anyway I'd imagine this has something to do with why they were in D...
