BBC One

Ellie's used to the short format anyway. She's a former Newsround presenter. That's probably why they chose her to do the 8pm bulletin.

14h50m of back-to-back BBC-made programming tomorrow

What's that supposed to mean?

It means 14 Hours and 50 Minutes of Programming made in house by the BBC and not sub-contracted out.

How can you tell that from a set of listings though? Especially with live one-off programming like the Marathon - that could easily be an contracted out production.

And isn't at least the London opt on The Sunday Politics not an independent production? Was it the only region or is Midlands Todays also?

I checked on several sites for the production companies.
The marathon is branded as a BBC Sport programme, such programmes usually credit only the BBC on their endboards.


I'm not sure..

although the playout, distribution and transmission of those programmes - as well as the facilities for the marathon coverage - are all sub-contracted

You mean like the snooker (IMG) or Grand National (Sunset+Vine), or in fact large swathes of the BBC Sport output?

Ok, I was wrong. Sorry.

An interesting Planet Earth Live countdown promo.

the midweek Lottery draw is on at 2335 in Northern Ireland for the next 10 weeks, to make room for the Nolan Show. They're recording a special start for it which mentions that the draw was recorded earlier, and tonight's 'good causes' plug is for the Titanic visitor centre, rather than the Cutty Sark.
