BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger

Cracking shift for Martine Croxall if she's ever seen in vision.

Notably World's Political Correspondent Rob Watson is in the studio.

And this sums up perfectly how badly this merger has been handled for BBC News journalists, presenters, producers, and other staff. Less than two weeks until launch...........
My understanding is that recruitment for the correspondent/presenter roles hasn’t even been completed.

And the coverage began earlier than billed, straight after sport at 1338.

The select committee feed has been “crackling” on BBC ever since it started. Fine on every other channel.

Seemed like it was just Harriet Harmans microphone, once they went to the video clip it disappeared, although with a massive level change between the two

Excepting general election night, no. More broadly, BBC World News very rarely took live coverage of any extended of these kinds of committee/news conference at all until fairly recently. It's certainly been mutating into more of a rolling news channel in the last few years (including slowing down to News channel pacing, which has in itself slowed down), but this is fairly without precedent and rather ridiculous.

Also a rare appearance from Chris Mason on the News Channel at the first break.

From his very own office no less!

I think it's ridiculous World is sticking with this total non event, it wasn't that relevant even when he was PM. The ''Partygate'' name is especially tabloid like. I'm sure people all over the world are desperate to know if Boris stood 1 m or 2 m from some other random person, years ago. Rolleyes If we're lucky, we might hear what they were drinking. Confused

There's a war going on and many other actual newsworthy events. A rare moment when one has to switch over to CNNI.

They don't have a choice during this month of madness which seems absolutely crazy.
