BBC News thread

They as showing World Business Report until 10pm - i think its live as the newsroom is very dark and empty.. looks quite atmospheric actually, nice for the evening..

News 24 seem to be taking World at the moment - they're currently in a live edition of World Business Report.

At 2100, the small screens on the back walls of N9 were blank, as were most of the monitors on the desks - which is a very rare sight!

There isn't usually very many people in N9 at this time of the evening, as the only programme to go out after 2200 is the news until 0030 - then it's shutdown for the night (usually, anyway - not sure whether overnights are still coming from N9). During the daytime, it's usually packed with journalists working on lots of programmes, including Asia Today etc.

BBC World in W/S with no DOG ?? I think some of you should get the Kleenex out ...

Ah but it's not the real BBC World without the BBC World DOG... otherwise you can't prove it's the real BBC World!

Indeed - highly surreal. Perhaps slightly off-shot there's a raging fire, and Sarah (?) is being held at gunpoint to keep waffling on about euros and airlines etc.

Well it's definitely BBC World... and the presenter obviously doesn't know she's on a simulcast.

The presenter just said that it's BBC World so it must be!

Well the regional opts are always the first thing to go missing, it seems

Notice how the monitors in the background are switched off?

Well the delightful Michelle was due to make an appearance on News24 at 11pm, but you lucky people have got her 80 minutes early

Incedentally, the schedule for BBC World on DigiGuide shows WBR as being half an hour... but now we're watching Asia Today.

A couple of caps of the state of the newsroom..
