So, it's coming up to midnight.

Will people on radio just down tools and walk out onto the picket lines?

Or will it be more controlled?

BBC World is also showing the same recorded bulletin with a RECORDED Dog at the top left corner. It did use the generic titles, though.

So how long do you think we are going to get this recorded bulletin for before it is updated???

Radio Five Live has this pre-recorded century of sporting moments

BBC1 is in a film so we won't know much more until 00:50
BBc2 is in a film till 01:30
BBC3 is in a pint of lager....... until 00:30 although it is computer playout
BBC4 some doc until 00:30 but also computer playout so shouldn't be any probs
BBC News 24 - Recorded BBC World bulletin and a dodgy DOG in top left corner
BBC World - Unkown at the moment, assuming the pre-record that's on N24
BBC Parliament - Computer playout

that's the latest so far

News 24 have replaced the BBC World logo for the News 24 logo with the clock.

Patrick Lunt read the midnight bulletin on Radio 2, and gave a timecheck and a promise for a 1am bulletin at the end (embarrasingly I can't remember if he's still employed or not).

Janice Long has begun her show (apparently without anyone to produce it) and presumably from a studio adjacent to the one Phil Williams has just left

And the Radio 4 news has just finished but I didn't catch who the newsreader was (David someone) but whoever he is he's doing continuity as well.

I wonder who's behind that then??? isn't a technically a difficult peice of gear to operate?? (the computer that runs the tower).

It seems News 24's cameramen have already started to walk out. A strange view on Chris Lowe just then, or maybe its just me, I'll shut up. Rolling Eyes Laughing


News 24 don't have 'cameramen'.

They still have the BBC News 24 DOG in the top left though. Sad
