BBC News Journalists to stage 2 48 Hour Strikes

East and West Midlands are together coming from Nottingham. Only the East on the weather map, though. Carol Hindes presenting.

Seems to be a programme on about the day in the life of a cricket player on the BBC news channel now.

News Channel running a feature ''On the Road with ....' No indication as to how long this might be. (Stuart Broad - Eng Cricket the subject)

Emma said she would be back at 2pm, so probably until then.

Ok was split screening with the audio coming from BBC ONE.

I'd watch him over the news anyday

I think Christa Ackroyd said North East and Cumbria was also joining us for Look North Leeds, with only Yorkshire on the weather map. If im wrong don't quote me but she said other areas were joining us for Look North Leeds.

It's a 30-ish minute filler - already scheduled to be on this evening at 2330 (and quite a bit over the weekend)

I'm impressed they've managed to make it from 0600 - 1330 without needing any filler programmes for the back half hours - though there has been a noticeable lack of new VTs making it to air.

I presume people like Peter Dobbie/Simon McCoy are only turning up for 2-3 hours so they don't do more than their usual workload then? Anyone know, who else is not with the NUJ. One would presume they would try to get a semi-familiar/established presenter for the main BBC One bulletins this evening? I expected Emma to appear at 6 or to do all the BBC One bulletins.

Peter Dobbie usually does marathon long shifts at World so I'm surprised he was on air for just 2 hours.

Well Robert Petson is said to be working so I wonder if he might do the 6 and 10 or maybe Nicholas Witchell.

Nicholas would surely be more likely but I reckon for a Friday night 6 and 10 they'd try and get someone that is used to presenting unlike Robert. Surely you would have had Emma on later seeing as she is a more experienced presenter.
