Thanks, just seen a bulletin before Family Guy, not in vision and no mention of the next programme.

They should really but they haven't once so far. 0000 was but wasn't labelled, same with 0500. There have also been a few recorded bulletins on World but I can't say whether they were flagged up or not. The only time the "recorded" graphic has made an appearance so far was as usual during ABC World News.
Surely they HAVE to signal that bulletins are recorded if they are?

Just by chance switched on BBC news channel at top of the hour and a simulcast of BBC World News with Alistair Yates from the World set, obviously no one able to cover upto the normal switch at 1am as a result if this strike.
Nice to see Alistair presenting

And yet - as someone pointed out to me yesterday - the likes of Richard Bacon have been absent despite being little more than a presenter. Not that I have a problem with this, but would someone like that really be a member of the NUJ?
You don't have to be a member of the NUJ to have a problem crossing a picket line. I know a number of non-union presenters who won't do it out of principle.
And that's true, though those who are absent and aren't entitled to strike action through their union are breaking a whole heap of laws and rules.
Out of interest, who do we think would come off worse for their actions in career terms? A so called "scab" like Emma Crosby, or a very public protester like Newsnight's Paul Mason?
As a general rule, I don't think 'scab' presenters have tended to benefit particularly from crossing a picket line. But I think Emma Crosby is going to be a huge success at the Beeb. She's stunningly attractive and a good presenter. I think she'll be presenting network blletins full-time pretty soon and is likely to become one of the 'faces' of BBC News.
I wouldn't think Peter would be in the journalists union, what with his cheesy DJ background.

Are you referring to the NC or WN? On the news channel the overnight presenter starts at 01:00 as usual on a Friday-to-Saturday night, after World News America at 00:30. Tim (the usual Friday late shift presenter) finishes at 00:30 with the hand over to WNA, with (usually) Naga Munchetty presenting from 01:00. That presenter does, however, stay on until 06:00 on Saturday and Sunday mornings, where it is usually 05:00 on Monday-Friday mornings, and starts on the NC on Saturday-to-Sunday nights and Sunday-to-Monday nights at 00:00.
The overnight presenter always does 0000 - 0600 on Friday-Saturday and Saturday-Sunday nights.
