BBC News strike

Interesting programme, wish they put features on during the day normally!

I usually just end up watching Click Online from bbc.co.uk/clickonline. The best News 24 programme I think.

Just heard that CBBC is repeating the same programme over and over every half an hour.....

And that BBC1 have a weather report instead of the news headlines

Report on Channel 4 News now.

No daily politics on BBC2 becuase of the strike, the Flying Gardner instead

Hmm. Good to see that they're not pretending everything is normal and even wanted to put the union's views across (even if it meant saying: "The unions won't speak on the BBC but here's what they told Sky News.")

Jeremy Dear (NUJ) is talking to Channel 4 now.

Not suprising that they won't talk to BBC News!

Why is Susan Osmond Presenting on News 24 .Surely she should be supporting her fellow colleagues .

The BBC are holding up very well, but lets take a look at the victims of the strike so far now that we are halfway through;

BBC News 24:- Holding up well, but a very stringy service compared to normal
BBC World:- Almost a total loss, relying on News 24 to keep going
The Daily Politics:- Cancelled, the Flying Gardner in its place
Radio 4's Today Programme:- Cancelled
BBC Breakfast:- Basically BBC News 24's stringy service
Radio Five Live:- Overnight relied on pre-recorded programming, breakfast was stringy, not sure on the rest of the day's output so far.

Just heard also that Working Lunch is Cancelled and The Egg: A Wildlife Guide presented by Keith Floyd is in its place.

I dont know funky , i thought she was finished with ( and at ) the BBC . I 'm surprised to see Daisy Sampson and Julia Caesar working today, very surprised.

Looks like the Chelsea flower show coverage is outsourced.

I don't think Andy Sturgeon was suppsoed to be presenting??

If only Susan Osman knew what BBC Management say about her when they don't need her to break the strike
