Is it most staff in regions who are on strike today, or simply that those in other teams won't cross picket lines?It's a strike by NUJ members in English regions, so includes TV journalists. Although the regional newsrooms have been multimedia a while, a lot of the newsgathering for one will be used for the other

Never heard that, quite a few local presenters ended at 11 so it can't be the case.
Having a quick flick around Sounds most of those programmes continuing are by cover presenters, some for presenters who were due to be off this week anyway. That said is the producers and Broadcast Assistants are striking too they'll be on their own
