Quite a scene on the region wall tonight: Langham, Trundle, the London skyline and a rogue camera in Wales!

What does that say about a channel if it scares fish? Just talk me through that.

I'm surprised B is being used for the bulletins tonight on Boxing Day considering Tina Daheley was in E last night.
Going by that shot, London was in D rather than B for such a short bulletin.

Maybe let's not be surprised by anything the BBC do at this point.
Nobody knows what manpower it takes to manage A,B, C, D and E. (the main news studios).
It's such a lottery. We do know that 'E' is what is preferred for network news going on what's happened this Christmas.
I don't think there is much thought to presenters tbh and long may that last! Give the UK more Hockings and Amroliwala and then some.

I also was surprised to see studio B tonight and very surprised to see the regional wall handover, especially as they don’t even do it on Sundays
I expected the bulletin to have studio E Saturday teatime vibes tonight
One note from those filler views they’ve used, they could surely use one to fill that awkward gap in that right hand column

They could stick it in the middle of the grid so it doesn’t stick out and vary it across the beauty/weather cams they have - that would give them at least one London, Glasgow, and Salford shot. Hopefully one also exits for Cardiff and Belfast.

Alternatively, what if they used the bulletin's numeral (e.g. a 6) in the middle? Might be slightly awkward for irregular bulletins (although they could just use the News logo), but it prevents any region doubling
Still waiting on DVB-T2! She/they.

I believe it's anything before 18.30 and it's the Six. That's not verbatim- an observation over the years. Pre 18:00 as per the World Cup the Six titles weren't used.
Maybe there’s not a protocol. On the day Rishi Sunak resigned as the Chancellor the Six was at 1818 but they used the generic intro.
And tonight’s Ten was at 2230 - the intro was numbered but the backdrop wasn’t. Sometimes they even use a generic package for a Six or Ten bulletin which begins at :10.

The London Skyline = "Millbank Terrorcam" as it's called on BNCS!

Oh dear, that's quite a scary name to give it. I guess the meaning, but I'm pleased it's not widely known.
