A repeat of News at Nine is currently listed at 10am tomorrow on the news channel rather than the Victoria Derbyshire programme.

I think the BBC NEWS at 9 lasts 2 hours on a Friday as they don't want to call it BBC NEWS at 10 as that is in evening.

Shows the BBC News at Nine lasting an hour.

If they shorten VD by another hour, they've got it just about right.

Totally agree! 50% of the way there!


And we'll propably get the other 50% in March (aka the end of the financial year!)

Well for the time being at least it looks like the programme is going nowhere as they're currently recruiting for a Senior Journalist:

Although, like most things BBC, it's a fixed term SJB role, and as a secondment they're probably looking for a BJ who can make an attachment as career development.

I'd still say that shortening the programme, rather than a fixed term recruitment, is a bigger indicator of lifespan...

What do those abbreviations mean?

The 2nd one might return some colourful search engine results...

the outright contempt for Derbyshire in this place is very odd, seemingly because many can't countenance News producing something that's not just *for you*. the idea that replacing something which is at least making an effort to reach an underserved audience with an hour of rolling news to satisfy your own interest is a bit myopic. is there not a chance that if you're on a telly presentation forum wanting to watch rolling news at 9am your news needs are pretty well-served already?

There are a few issues going on with the response to Victoria Derbyshire on forums and online in general. I'm not making any specific comment about this place, but they tend to fall into the following categories:
1. It doesn't fit a rolling news channel: which is fine, but then the same people complain they see the same headlines every 20 minutes. It does make it more of a headache to decide whether to break away from planned programming to go to a breaking news event, and they haven't always got it right, but I'd rather have a considered discussion on an important topic over a political leader talking endlessly for half an hour or Sky's "bring two people who wildly disagree on something into the studio, what do you imagine is going to happen?" format.
2. The topics covered - where there's a fine line between thinking these don't fit a news channel and out and out misogyny: I think there's reasonable criticism to be had that in some of her 5 Live and early TV days there was an endless run of misery through personal stories, and some of it had the danger of straying into misery porn. However, there are some people online who have a major problem with hearing the voices of anyone who isn't a white male aged 18-49 at all and object to the show tackling issues they don't consider news.

For me, her show is actually more relevant now than when it started. When it started it felt like an attempt to untidily crowbar a BBC2 show on to the News Channel. Now, the way social media has impacted the news agenda, there is something to be said for a problem which doesn't follow the Morning Briefing-led style of news.

At the same time though, after Breakfast's more magazine-style offering earlier in the day there is the something to be said for a solid block of news at 9am, then what Derbyshire has to offer afterwards. If anyone actually watched a news channel in a linear way through the day, that would make sense.

No AR on the Newsroom Live opening sequence this morning.

The graphics on the hoop were missing from the 11am and 12pm TOTH sequences.

It was there - well it rendered - but the camera kind of forgot where the hoop was!!! Thankfully we didn’t see it all teeny tiny in the corner! It’s fixed now!

Cock up after the 18:15 cross back to the studio from the regions on the Six just now. The cameras in E had a bit of a wobbly and we were greeted by an empty chair out of the sting while Jane was standing at the screens. What seemed more odd is the fact that they couldn't seem to reposition the cameras.

Well the Furios have been in operation over five years. I’m not sure what the life cycle of them are however they’re used almost continuously throughout the day. So there’s bound to be more wear and tear compared to ones used in a studio a few hours a day.

How user serviceable are they? Can they swap out the wheels easily if they get worn or does a specialist need to come in.

I know Ross just released at NAB this year the second generation of Furios. I believe the Furio SE dollies can be placed on the existing track and coexist with previous generation dollies.
