At 6 o clock I saw a generic BBC Clock in WIDESCREEN Shocked with a generic announcement,then when we should have had 'Over On BBC London' Or 'On UK Today' we just got ANOTHER headline by Huw 'Also Tonight,<Headline><BBC News at 6 titles>

Did this happen in your region? Can't wait for 6:30,I wonder what'll happen!Smile

Sounds like their automation system didn't fire off.
They use a similar system to BBC World & N24

Oh sorry, I mis-read your initial entry. Thought you meant the regional opt messed up & you saw a VT clock! Doh Smile

There were no regional headlines at the beginning of the programme in any regions. This is due to the war.

Ah well,what did other people see at 6?

In the North West, it was the same ... no North West clock ... no headlines from NWT.

We in the 'BBC Yorkshire & Lincolnshire' (formerly known as BBC North) region had a generic clock too.

I expect the same at 10, and probably at 1 earlier, and tommorow....

In the North West we had the regional clock and headline opt in the 10 o'clock bulletin on BBC 1
