BBC New Channel looks like it is in pushback mode but minus any pushback content. All fine on BBC. Ticker on channel and not BBC One which I'd imagine is intended.
When they solved the pushback problem the news channel ended up with the same output as BBC One (i.e. minus furniture - ticker and clock).
Interesting to see they've gone for a double headed simulcast this hour, suspect that there must be an update that they aren't telling the public about yet as it seems weird that they'd step up hours after the news came in.
A lot of the signed news output is on the NC now, and deaf viewers are aware of this.
On its simplest level the primary output of the news programme will go out on network, and the signed version will select network as an outside source, set a graphics push-back and then overlay the signer.
Of course a far more detailed explanation will come from deejay who is/was a director at the BBC News channel and World News!

I wonder if it's possible to take video and full form (think that's what they call fullscreen) graphics is made on one M/E bus and take that program output and feed it to another switcher for the pushback. (I think someone said the push backs are controlled by another smaller switcher) They then take the same lower thirds for both channels to both switcher.
Right, deep breath... The routing to the networks is really complex. Any studio can route to any network (or presentation suite if that network has one). That studio can add its own lower thirds in a prescribed style. It can route the same lower thirds in different styles to different networks if so desired. It can also optionally route pushbacks to any (or multiple) networks. When world and the news channel combine output temporarily, say for the first ten minutes of an hour, one channel can 'slave' their lower thirds to the other. This allows the slave channel to stay in circuit to their own network ready for the split away.
Signing is switched in and out as required. They control the squeeze-back once they're switched into circuit. Signing is only seen on the news channel.
