You may be so bold, but only in the BBC News Presenters & Rotas thread, which was created for exactly that purpose.

Interesting to see this feed of the Gordon Brown/Chinese PM press conference is covered in sparklies like you used to get on analogue satellite.

Probably because of the snow - I know I had problems with Bloomberg and Setanta early this morning

I was waiting for someone to blame the snow Laughing

You might be right - I just find it funny how many things are affected by it!

Wonder if they used a terrestrial analogue link rather than a digital one so that the snow would make it go sparkly rather than freeze up. I did notice it wasn't full widescreen, so it could well have been some old 4:3 analogue kit that got pressed into service.

Don't look at me chief - I was just answering someone's question. You'll have to look elsewhere for the culprit who violated the sacred and esteemed demarcation zone between different threads.

Well Sky News relaunches tomorrow, I can see the BBC's broom cupboard of a set looking quite 'pathetic' comparing it to the new Sky News one.

Sorry couldn't really think of any other word except pathetic.

Much better than what they had. Its brilliant I love it - at last we have a BBC News TV Channel service we can be proud of again. Very pleased BBC - much, much better!

The studio looks really nice.


Glad to see that you are consistent in your rantings.
