Another way of using the massive screen when the back half hour filler is on.
. . . watching BT Sport
Being able to watch a rival channel in a newsroom is no surprise. Being able to watch it on a screen that's maybe fed from an aux bus of the vision mixer... a little risky, as it could mean it's possible to cut it directly to air.

Wouldn't it have been a router source anyway for the news to put together highlight clips?
They've only been using highlights a few times a day, mostly using still images for the sport broadcasts which suggests BT are charging a hefty fee to allow them to broadcast highlights or restricting how often.

It may not BT but also the league. There are similar restrictions with the NFL and of course the Olympics on the amount of minutes you can air.

It would be. The display may not directly be connected to an Aux bus as thereās the Christie Spyder videowall controller that can take different elements.
I donāt think itās a big deal Iāve seen images here in the US where someone routes an NFL game to a monitor wall and is up during the entire newscast. ISTR a few also put a game up in the confidence monitor below the TelePrompTer instead of program output.

That's partly to do with news access rights - you're allowed so many minutes/uses per day, with appropriate credit, and from an off-air recording. Perhaps they're using them in the slots where they think they'll have most impact, and getting stills from the wires for the rest.
Routing to an edit suite is one thing; routing to a vision mixer (which could be cut to line) is another. It's a big no-no where I work.
Yes. Though if you are off-air and take if off the mixer before you are back on-air, and don't cut it up on your main output, you are usually reasonably safe...
Or in some cases you just route directly to the screen, taking the mixer out of the path, to avoid it having to go anywhere near the TX path...

It could also be timing. Under the news access rules I think itās the case that if the event takes place between midnight and 6am you cantāt show any live action from that period until the primary rights holder has rerun it / shown extended highlights.
I remember a few years ago a warning being sent round about the Super Bowl (when the BBC didnāt have any rights) stating that no footage of it from after mignight (so most of the game) could be used until Sky had rerun the whole thing which was around 2pm the following day.
