Same production/editorial team but is it the same level of tech staffing, particularly camera operators?

Its just faded off the screen and they've dropped the Reuters reference and added the word "found".
Nice to know they're reading along here.

And now they've added, "...in her hotel room".
Although that makes less sense, as she was probably in the bathroom of her hotel room.
Do you regularly have whole conversations on your own, Gav?
I don't, but Gavin does.

Is the ticker not manually keyed in?
Its currently running (over and over) the Reuters story of Whitney Houston being "underwater and apparently unconscious when..." and then nothing. It just trails off.
That's a bit poor.

Very true - although I see no reason they can't do the same camera shot with NC staff, they often do it themselves including at weekends. Not that it matters much, I shan't go on a Worzel rant

Might be a nod to the planned set up in W1's studios.
Speaking of camera angles - here's a slightly different one to the norm on the BBC News at Five:
It's been used before when the Barcos were broken in the left hand corner and is used for interviews normally - but not seen it used before under normal circumstances.

BBC News channel, well no - but the graphics are a clear knock - off.

Can they actually get away with this, or would they have had to ask permission from the beeb to use something like this?

Do you think anyone at the BBC actually cares?

Desks, baking trays, lightboxes, colours, animations and fonts are - pretty much - open property. Attempts to protect design ideas would be futile, unless its a very specific symbol or title, and that costs money. You'd go to efforts like that with your trademark and logo, but not with every graphic set or piece of studio furniture - particularly when all those elements are subject to being tweaked and changed over time in-house.
There's been a hundred examples of the BBC being blatantly copied around the world - sets and graphics - but I tend to think that's something to be proud of, in a way.

BBC News Channel not taking News at One today to cover the PM in Scotland. Perhaps they will be in N9 if it under-runs?
