I always think that there's little that's more entertaining during a strike than regional news. I remember during a late 90s strike, Look North (Leeds) was presented by a moustachioed, bespectacled member of management who looked like he'd been left in a cupboard since 1977, with a facial expression which might have led you to believe that he'd just been told his house his house was on fire. Half way through, the picture went green as well. Great fun!

BBC1's flagship news bulletins will also be hard hit, with BBC managers understood to be planning to put out shorter 15-minute shows in place of the 1, 6 and 10 O'Clock News programmes, which normally run for half an hour.
Viewers are also likely to notice a marked difference in the BBC1 news output that does make it to air, with those BBC staff responsible for the increasingly complicated computer graphics that are a feature of modern day bulletins also joining the strike.
TV news bulletins will probably look like a throwback to the 60s or 70s, with just a presenter and desk and no fancy graphics.
Rolling news services Radio 5 Live and News 24 also face major disruption. The Radio 5 Live controller, Bob Shennan, is understood to be making plans to put pre-recorded output in place of regular programmes such as Breakfast.
On News 24, contingency planning is said to focus around putting out a live programme in the first half of each hour, but resort to pre-recorded material in the back half hour.
Outside London, BBC1's 6.30pm regional news bulletins are expected to be cut from their normal length of half an hour to just five minutes.
The scale of the disruption that Monday's strike will cause to BBC TV and radio news programmes and services began to emerge yesterday when it was revealed that Newsnight would be blacked out on the day.

According to MediaGuardian, the One, Six and Ten will only be 15 minutes long and the 6.30pm Regional News will only last 5 minutes.
It'll be interesting to see what they will fill the slots up with.
