Chris doing the Ten presumably, then who for the night-shift I wonder? Will the work to rule affect this shift and shifts tomorrow at all?
Well the strike ends at midnight - so the normal overnight presenter will pop up at 0100 (as well as someone else in Singapore).
At 9.30 we are in N8 with Chris Rogers.
And now it's time for Hard Talk at 21.33

In previous strikes they've managed to find a sports presenter (I remember Amelia Harris and Mike Bushell) but this time I've only seen Chris doing it.
So today on BBC News we have had:
6.00 Breakfast with Charlie Stayt
9.15 Simon McCoy
11.00 Gavin Grey (Also did 6?-10 on BBC World News)
3.00 onwards Chris Rogers

Amelia Harris was on in the morning and early afternoon, and Sam Washington was on business. I saw Julia Caeser, a former NC business presenter and occasional reporter, filing a business report earlier too.

Presumably Simon McCoy either isn't a member of the NUJ (or is but doesn't support the strike) but isn't prepared to work over and above his usual shift. Fair play to him.

That's John Ryan, editor of BBC Radio Manchester. He did a rather good job on all three IMO.
Also, Michelle Mayman (editor of NWT), who made a well documented slip-up at the last strike appeared as a reporter, I wonder if this had anything to do with her not reading the bulletins today?
John Levy presented the short bulletin on NWT.

I think it was said last time somewhere that he isn't a member of the NUJ so has to go into work but only works his usual shift in support of his colleagues.

In the South, we had the five minute bulletin with the normal presenters, with Sally Taylor doing the three minutes news and Reham Khan doing the two minute weather. What's more, when I passed BBC South HQ in Southampton earlier, there were no striking workers or pickets outside. I even forgot there was a strike!
This is in contrast to what we have seen before on both counts, with pickets outside and the whole news team abandoning the programme: usually the head of BBC South was drafted in to do it!
As for the oxford opt out, how could it? It didn't have anything to opt out of! However the news website is very thin on the ground. All the news is left-overs from the weekend.
Anyway, that was how it was down here.

Tim Smith, the editor of Look North (Leeds) was out reporting today doing the kind of story that would usually be John Cundy territory, and looked perfectly at home in that role.
They were lucky that it's Yorkshire Day, so they had an excuse to pad the 6.30 by showing the Symphony for Yorkshire and the 10.25 with a couple of minutes of a brass band playing Ilkley Moor Bah Tat.

And in Scotland we had someone called Stephen Duffy whoever he is, can't say I've ever seen him before, think he did all the bulletins throughout the day.
