Sometimes if there no decent promos, you might get lucky. IF your really lucky your recording at the same time ; )
Yeah, the longer countdowns are rare and reslly are just an indication that they have no VT’s to play a large number of ads.
Speaking of which, you know they are short on actual promotion material when they start broadcasting the VT about the World Snooker Championship starting this weekend on the news channel at every possible chance they can get. I’ve counted it being played out at least 3-4 times, and probably more times in between that if i wasn’t watching other channels
Seems they have changed weather presenting shifts on the News Channel this week. Normally, whoever is presenting the weather at 12.30pm does so through to 6.30pm (including two network bulletsin, Afternoon Live and the News at 5).
But this week, Chris Fawkes has only done 12.30pm - 2pm, then News at Five/News at Six, with Ben Rich covering all weather bulletins through Afternoon Live (with an additional "live weather" bulletin at 3.30pm which has normally been a pre-recording). I would like to see this continue, because it gives Afternoon Live more of its "own segment" with its own presenting team that isn't just a long afternoon for one person.
Today has seen Mel Coles do the forecasts over lunch before Tomasz did afternoon live and the six (not sure who did the five) with Mel then returning (although I suspect prerecorded) through the evening at least until 23:30 including weather for the week ahead at 21:55 and the forecast on BBC2 following Newsnight. Tomasz also did the evening (live in the studio) and late (prerecorded) London forecasts and the forecast on radio 4 at the end of PM although Ben RIch appeared for the national BBC1 forecast after the ten. Unsure who did the global forecast at 21:25.

I noticed that, i don’t think i’ve seen a presenter start a weather shift at 12.30pm and still have their forecasts broadcasting well past 11pm. Wlndr what it’s all about, new presenting style to have all evening bulletins just be pre-recorded clips?
What's that device Rico Hizon is holding? It sounded like he kept clicking or tapping it at about 01:23.
Manually controlled autocue. Its a thing in some studios, such as during certain sports bulletins in Salford. Presumably meant to reduce technical faults with the autocue not working when it runs automatically by having it be manually operated

Aren't all autocues manually operated? The only difference is that some are done by the presenter and some by an operator?
Simon Calder (Travel Journalist from The Independent) turned BBC News reporter just now as he was being interviewed down the line outside Heathrow airport. The climate change protesters started getting a bit rowdy and it was left to him to report on what was going on. He ended up giving a pretty good running commentary of the situation.
It took the camera operator an unbelievably long time to pan the camera round to show what was happening.
Really surprised he hasn't made the switch to television journalism as he's rather good.

Most prompters in use in news studios are either controlled by a separate operator using a control interface (usually a scroll wheel), or by the presenter using a foot-pedal or hand-controller (which can be cabled or wireless). There are voice controlled options that will follow presenters as they talk, but they are not good when presenters need to ad-lib or interview, so are only really used in very straightforward situations.
