Has Andrew Wilson slept at all today, if so who was anchoring in his place... Emma Hurd?


Andrew Wilson came on air at 10pm last night and stay on till 9:30am - Robert Nisbet took over, and Andrew's been back on air since just before Live at Five.

Emma's not presented any of the coverage but has been doing lives.. (I think)

After all the miners have been rescued, do you think any reporters will go down the mine in the capsule? It would be dangerous but what an exclusive! Tim Wilcox is quite a slim man, Andrew Wilson not so much.

The way BBC News works is.... {snip}
....For major events there are both hub areas as well as the possibility of using separate galleries to pre-switch some feeds.


Although as I say it's fairly irrelevant as the beeb will probably only have a handful of feeds coming in from Chile in the first place - the 2 agencies are carrying the shared coverage (they might have a non agency feed of it too) and the feed from the BBC uplink at the mine (with backup). It doesn't look like they have more than one output back from Chile

Nice idea but I can't imagine any insurance company agreeing to it

BBC News' VizRT system certainly being tested to the limit today with all the graphics theyre using. I haven't seen the split screen used as much in the last few years compared to today.

21 of 33. Does this really require rolling coverage now ? Why not break away for other news, and return when as they come to the surface ?
