It's routine maintenance.

Could not disagree more I'm sorry. Sick of the Britain-bashing on here. The BBC is the finest cultural institution in the World and it's got there by being British. Lose that and it'll end up being a carbon copy of all the other broadcasters.
What? How is it Britain-bashing to say that the US has far greater cultural dominance internationally. That's not a value judgement on my part, it's just objectively true. Far, far more people globally could name key US political figures than British ones and the US is incredibly unique in that normal people outside the country maintain at least some interest in its day-to-day politics/issues. This ultimately allows US-based international broadcasters to talk about the their country in a way not afforded to other international broadcasters who can't benefit from the same familiarity.

I'm not saying that the BBC should lose it's British-style, but on an international news channel you can't assume that viewers will be familiar with unusual domestic terminology. Pushing stories of limited relevance onto them is one thing, but pushing stories that they don't care about and which you are telling in a deliberately opaque way is how you lose viewers - which is a terrible idea for a channel whose budget is about three-quarters dependent on advertising revenue.

Neither OS or The Context have been dropped from the NC or World News schedule listings, so the use of E since last night and no branded programmes this evening must mean that C is officially broken.

Makes you wonder how a situation like this will be managed when E is out of use for 6+ months and C is the only studio available to the new channel, without major challenges in juggling studio space.

Presumably on the occasion that C breaks the channel will come from A and the ability for the UK to opt will be temporarily restricted to hours where D isn’t required for other things.

Somehow I find it weird that the format of the program is affected by what studio it is in... It is not just branding, like one could think with OS, it is the very format of the show - Context is more of an analysis with a panel thing (and, honestly, requires little more than a flash studio as the panel is on a splitscreen), and yet today we had a generic BBC News bulletin.

I'm more inclined to think that there must have been an editorial decision of some kind to drop the rest of the UK-based branded content until...... the new channel officially launches?

I hope we'll get some inside info as to what's going on with Studio C - is it broken like in "malfunctioned" or is it broken like in "refurbished"?

Amazingly, it is not repeated all week. Today at 22:37 UKT there was a Travel Show digest episode.

Wow, looks like a very mundane explanation for all the unusualness we have seen today. The whole "ditching format because of a different studio that we do not need that much of" still looks weird to me.

And tomorrow's One is back in E.

Given they had the intro, graphics, everything in place, one might assume that today we had somewhat of a pilot run, with a more permanent move to B coming later? Or, if the new graphics redesign also happens at that time, was the Reith + Globe version of 1 titles made "just in case"?
