The show ended with the BBC News countdown music in the background on TV, and the usual Five Live top of the hour jingle on the radio. It seemed to work well.

I have noticed the news channel isn’t get promoted at all like trailers for click or any indeed other show always end up as you can watch on iplayer no mention at all off the news channel, they are trying to put the channel out to pasture.

With the news headlines and sports news. They have visualised it with written headlines on screen. Perhaps it would be best to add video and have the presenters off screen reading the headlines if there is no autocue.

That may require greater production resources though? Presumably it’s much easier for someone to type in a few sentences of headlines that don’t have during the bulletin than have somebody source, load and select the video content for each story?

Overall I thought it worked pretty well, at least from a technical perspective. Not sure a phone-is best placed on BBC News, but the conversation with the interviewees was certainly good. Victoria Derbyshire programme vibes (how strange that such an ill-conceived programme would be a welcome addition today!).

Interested to see caps on the visual elements of the programme - how do they address the phone-ins, the headlines, etc? Are they done more in standard BBC News graphics, or closer to Radio 5 Live's?

BBC News, peppered with a bit of Five Live:

The sport bulletin at 1145 took a live feed of the World Snooker Championship from BBC Two briefly... Does the BBC have the rights to show it because it's also on the international feed...

IIRC they rarely take live feeds from tournaments on WN's Sport Today before the merger due to rights issues, though it was pretty common during Sportsday and the sport bulletins on the NC since it's UK only.

The Campbell simulcast shows how important it is to get the flipper with news headlines back.

Luckily I have access to the World feed where Lewis Vaughan Jones was still providing actual news rather than a phone-in.

During the Nicky Campbell show did the World feed continue with the hybrid of World / UK Domestic news or did it go back to World news only? Did they take the Prime Minister speech for example?

Looks like that the merger is not enough for them, now they definitely want to close it........

The 10-11am hour was 100% world news. Stories included the sentencing of a Putin critic in Moscow and part of a speech by Hillary Clinton in Belfast, but no UK domestic stories.
