WN and NC now simulcasting a special bulletin with Shaun Ley instead of Sportsday/Focus on Africa in Studio E.

I’m guessing Sue Barker introduced it, rather than it just crashing in at Match Point?

Wasn't at match point but end of a game- and she introduced it with a voiceover and afterwards sounded a bit shocked before when they had not been any shock results at SW19 .

Newsflash on BBC1 during Wimbledon. Reeta Chakrabarti announcing the news. Think I read it happened a newsflash occurred once before during Wimbledon for the Barry George verdict.

Where was the newsflash presented from?

Studio C althrough surely E would have been free since Simon McCoy did Afternoon Live from Westminster today.

Thanks. The gallery for E though presumably was in use.

Wouldn't someone be in E in case of technical fault at Westminster and someone needed to take over.

Jon Snow dealing with some noisy protestors on Abingdon Green.





(C4 News is dual-headed from there this evening - Cathy Newman is there too)

Thought I'd be able to catch the newsflash by watching Wimbledon back on iPlayer, but it seems to link to a 45 minute programme that's supposed up last 200+ minutes.

Edit- Removed as I misread a tweet.

No Outside Source on BBC World News - it's replaced with a simulcast of the 8PM bulletin on NC, with Christian Fraser presenting live from Westminster. It seems that WN will simulcast with NC for the rest of the night, except for the 10PM national bulletin. Rolling Eyes

Any shows that have Elstree D booked in the next few months might do well to look for a plan B

Loaded up iPlayer to try and get a capture of the Newsflash, unfortunately the 13:45 programme on iPlayer is actually the 11:30 programme, as a late change meant Wimbledon coverage started on BBC One instead of BBC Two today.
