Yes looks to be, based on what is going out on BBC Four.


They were until just now. Forgot about BBC4.

Gone their separate ways now, Martine interviewing Look North's Phil Bodmer on the NC.

Are all BBC WN regions showing the referendum results? I know Europe is.

According to the BBC World News schedule, the branded bulletins such as Impact and GMT are replaced with BBC World News, which I suspect will continue to be a simulcast with the NC. However there are WBR and Sport Today bulletins throughout the day, the first at 0530 BST.

No AM Business Live bulletin, but the PM edition is on.

They weren't simulcasted as far as I can tell. They just covered one story though live from Westminster.

On Friday, the World presenter introduced the bulletin, then they'd take bits from the domestic feed, then return to do their own features.

The bits I saw of both channels, NC had reports live from Downing Street and WN had Phillipa Thomas in Westminster.

Going through my recording of WNT, Victoria Fritz presented the 1900 edition for the first time (with Ros in Brussels). I'd speculate she's going to be the new Alice Baxter with the marathon shifts on WN. She was on from 1000 BST with Biz updates.

I don't know where the best place is to post this so I'm putting it here. The BBC is opening a bureau in Toronto but the focus is online.

Sounds similar to their operation in Australia.

I hope it's better than the Australia operation which produces a lot of silly stories with a few actual news stories and good features here and there.
