Will anyone be able to help me out on the following questions:

A. Now that WNA is done from its new studio, does there require a back-up presenter in Studio C still?

B. Does the news channel still need to take WNA if the Ten is starting late as it has done during the pandemic or will it be able to go its separate ways now that they have both the late presenter and Christian on standby?

Ten hardly ever starts late so it's hard to say

So are we expecting to see the return of Newsroom Live, Afternoon Live and the BBC News at 5 from the 1 September? I really hope we do. It just shows how some basic and simple presentation changes can give the channel at least some energy. Also, will the 5 go back to studio C?

The other question is what the former BBC News at 9 and the 10am Derbyshire slot will be called? It can't be called Morning Live as it's not suitable for a World audience.

There also hasn't been any news on which hours are staying simulcast with World News. We've heard rumblings of 'the morning and evening' but no firm times.

BBC News kind of feels in a bit of a stasis situation at the moment. I'm surprised there's not been anything leaked on Twitter or any further announcements made about what's happening going forward.

I guess the schedule won't revert to pre-Covid, 2 presenters between 13:00 and 19:00 is working.

I recond 5 will be from A as B is still likely to be mothballed current schedule only released until 30th August

God forbid they do the Five in Studio A...

No reason why whoever does the One can't go on to present Afternoon Live?

SADiE wasn’t primitive, it was extremely advanced for its day.
was it SADiE that was a French product, and even if you were using its English localisation would keep its audio files in a 'son' folder?

[edit] nope, I'm thinking of Dalet.

I've never really watched much of B100D before due to its timing, but I'm enjoying this new double-headed 9pm bulletin. It's more engaging than a straight bully and less annoying than someone jabbing at a touchscreen.

Just caught the last 30 minutes of beyond 100 days on NC. I really like the new format I think it’s great. Not a fan of the way it cut out just before 10 for the weather, but liked that they kept the Macarena playing Over the bbc news graphic Very Happy


I’ve noticed the CA’s on bbc one Scotland say the time after introducing the presenter of news at 10&6(not sure if they done it on the one) which IMO is pointless because they’ve just introduced it as the bbc news at 10.

Officially according to Katty twitter it’s called ‘the programme with no name’ (working title)

And in presentation style, it is basically Beyond 100 Days, just no B100D branding anywhere. When my parents saw the programme this week, they just assumed it was Beyond 100 Days even though it had none of the branding.

Mmmmmm that 2001 overnight headline bed. But does anyone know why it was pitched up slightly compared to everything else? It's not even a full semi-tone, but the News 24 and World beds are all at the correct pitch (of B♭ for those playing at home)


I've been wondering this for 20 years. I make no apologies for essentially bumping this post, as it's a mystery up there with Lord Lucan.

I've also wondered why for a long time. I recall asking someone who worked at BBC News in 2001 and he didn't exactly say but I got the impression he wasn't too impressed with it. The only guess that I can make is that it was decided to use the regular World vamp but with an extended front (that was to mask the opt in overnight - World could crash into News 24 and it wouldn't sound too bad). Maybe the extended front sounded a bit too slow so they sped up the vamp, altering the pitch in the process?

*snip*


I was gutted to not see more discussion on this, beyond a couple of followups. I think it deserves its own thread, sadly this one seems to have gone back to discussing what shift Tim Willcox is on and whether it means the 8.30pm bulletin is being reintroduced.

I wonder if the mods could possibly merge the posts about the overnight vamp and following discussion of audio equipment into the BBC News nostalgia thread? That might be a better place for us to discuss that and leave this thread free for the daily minutiae of current BBC News.

One of tonight’s guests seemed a bit nervous by the look of her facial expressions when she was introduced Very Happy

Is it actually dark right now in Washington? Call me picky but it bugs me that it is darker than the UK background when it is 5 hours behind...
