NUJ BBC Strikes

What? One of the presenters stood up on the News channel!!

No regional opt during the headline sequence on the One, but a bulletin is still scheduled in for half past.

Tom Barton reporting from Westminster, last I saw of him he was freelancing on Anglia I believe.

Adnan Nawaz is back on BBC World for his 5th hour thus far. He's perfectly good at this. Been doing it for years anyway. They're even doing a live to Tahrir Square at the moment.

It just feels like a usual weekend shift over here, apart from the presence of the Biz Anchor.

If you leave aside newsgathering a second, would I be right in thinking the News Channel and/or World News copes a lot better with major breaking news. More ad-libbing, more use of library pictures, more excuse for being unorganised. More reason for lengthy interviews.

I seem to remember last time round the Channel really picked up when Emma Crosby could cover the breaking news on a train crash (or something).

Christa on Look North this Lunchtime

And this woman on BBC London. She was on last time but I can't remember her name for the life of me. She's not in the terrible Millbank studio this time however!

Susie Fowler-Watt on the Look East Lunchtime bulletin.

Gavin Grey still going on the News channel, struggling a bit now.., not surprising the length of time he's now been on. But nice to see the presenter on the One, continuing to 2pm

Look North just 5 minutes long, when the EPG is still saying 15

Sally Taylor presented the BBC South lunchtime bulletin, which is quite an unusual occurance in itself!

Looks like Sarah Lockett..

That's the one!
