Newsround is off air until the 2nd of January.


Already? I know that in the BBC One days newsround ended the Friday before Christmas, with the review of the year between Christmas & New Year, but this is a little early, is it not?


It’s a bit like the Christmas Blue Peter which used to be on the last broadcast day before 25th December. Now it’s on a week and a half before Christmas Day.

Also in ye olde days there were times when new Blue Peter was broadcast on New Year’s Day.

Is it just the natural way that things are heading, people finishing earlier and Christmas specials on earlier in December?

I remember that many Christmas specials aired between Christmas & New Year when I was younger, no it seems like everything is creeping forwards.

Has any one noticed during the closedown loop, the music loop has been replaced by the sound of birds tweeting?

Yes, I had noticed that, would rather have the CBBC theme!

I think a lot of it is to do with Xmas being on a Monday meaning that broadcasters can't get away with a reduced service for the week of New Year.

Newsnight is also off air for the whole of this week. I guess if budgets are being squeezed it’s a good time to have a week off...

I missed the context here and thought for a moment that Newsnight was on CBBC.

Starting yesterday, the CBBC DOG (not to be confused with the CBBC dog ) has showed between programmes in trailers and links.
