Has BBC East got rid of many of its behind the scenes technical people?

Reason i ask is that I’ve seen a few reports where the camera work / angles have been very dodgy - one this evening about D-Day looked like the tripod was missing a leg!

A few weeks ago there was also a live report where for the entire piece to camera the reporter was completely out of focus as the camera had auto focused or been focused on the background. This never changed for the duration of the report even when they went to a piece of VT in between it wasn’t corrected. Certainly doesn’t feel as slick as it used to.
