Remember its not just presenters that are on strike. It's all the people behind the scenes. Getting a presenter I'm sure would be the least of their problems

I'm guessing Newsround is out of the question tomorrow. Not as easy to get a replacement presenter for a kids' news show I suppose.

It's replaced by Newsround Extra (or so my little brother tells me).

Sorry, I meant there would be no junctions on BBC ONE Wales OVERNIGHT from midnight (IIRC all three Nations normally cover junctions beyond midnight, on BBC ONE at least).
Ah, okay - although given that there's not much activity tonight, I don't think there'll be too much difference. BBC Two in Scotland and Northern Ireland might be interesting; Scotland's showing the late film 10 minutes later, and NI is entirely different. If it's not normally automated at this time of night, then there might be some interesting consequences.

If there's nobody in the playout suites, then how are they going to manage to get Wales Today (all 7 minutes of it) on air?

It won't be completely automated, so there may be a change of voice after midnight. Meanwhile I believe all the overnight directors in BBC Broadcast will have walked out which wouldn't have an immediate effect on air but could make it more difficult for NI to opt back in.

Looks like the person responsible for changing lightbulbs at the BBC has joined the picket line too - watching the news earlier with Nick Higham standing outside TV Centre I'm sure the second I in the word "Television" on TV Centre was not lit!

There were an awful lot of cars in the management car park as well

Just because it is manual doesn't mean it has to be.

So, if News24 don't really know what they are doing, and BBC1 have a manual opt-in with no one there to do it........................
