Would regions ever be put on standby to run their bulletins on the hour at 6 if **** really did hit the fan?


No, but Salford could act as network. It would be too complicated with lives & packages to be individually produced by each region.


Oops I mean to run their local bulletin first


They’d probably need so much notice that it would be easier to make alternative arangements for the networked program to still go first.

Focus on Africa is now in Studio G/H (Green screen studio for BBC Weather??) with a static Studio B shot as backdrop. Look at that creepy chroma key of Studio B!

I think we may have differing levels of creepy!

If I were missing part of my head, I'd consider that creepy.

News Channel live from studio E as normal but Carole Walker reading the headlines from the desk when normally they'd be done from the catwalk at this time. Beyond 100 Days looks unaffected:

I'd imagine it was one of the news CSO studios. Not sure how many there are but BBC Breakfast regularly use one.

Disappointing that we didn’t have floor managers running around to give it even more of a Politics Live feel.
Ittr, watchingtv and Stuart gave kudos

Those headlines often come from the desk if the channel isn't going straight into sportday after the headlines, so that in itself is nothing unusual.

Throughout Focus on Africa this is the sweep they used during transitions of headlines... This looks familiar... I assume this was supposed to be used in one of the BBC World Service TV News programmes?

Beyond 100 Days might be a challenge......

Peter Okwoche also doing the sport news during Focus on Africa. No separate sports presenter as would normally be the case.

Surprised that FoA ever has a separate sports presenter as I though world and NC tend to share a singular sports studio and sports-day is taking up the whole half hour on the news channel with increasing regularity.
