BBC Off Air

BBC Channels just fell off air, BBC TWO back after about 45 secs, BBC ONE, after a minute and a half.

Just went off and came back did they?

Yes, don't know why!! We missed a bit of Bargain Hunt!!

Some more news, Darren Jordon is doing the BBC News at One today. George Alagiah must be on holilday, as it was Jeremy Bowen last week. I want to know why they always pick Breakfast presenters. Why not someone like Nicholas Withcell? Perhaps Bill Turnbull!

I think they must choose the Breakfast presenters because they can then just hang on from 9 o'clock. The six presenter will already be in, but will be busy working on the six so usually cannot present the one.

It would be nice for them to perhaps use Moira, as she's in at the same times as the Breakfast presenters!! I'd like them to use more N24 presenters. They used Gavin Esler on the One once, but I've not seen any others, apart from Matthew Amroliwala on the weekend, and Philip Hayton last weekend.

Maybe they need an extra dedicated national news presenter? Or maybe its just not worth it for the summer... Come on, let's see more of Sian!!

I still want to see Heather McCarthy and Rachel Harrison on the national news.

moira should definatly do the news more.

BRING BACK MOIRA
BRING BACK MOIRA

N24 on all digital platforms was off air this morning. Don't know for how long. I switched on about 0600

Was back on air at 0630, but clock less until about 1120

Doesnt she do the news in the david frost programme on sundays?

No, its ages since she did that. She only does Breakfast now. It would be nice to see her on BBC News again. The Breakfast with Frost news is always read by one of the Breakfast presenters on N24 that Sunday morning.
