Even if is because of the cuts, it isn't impossible to put any BSL trasnlator in a small studio with just 1 camera controlled by NC UK (Or even by Red Bee if they end handling the output of the channel as it may look)(24-03-2023, 02:39 PM)DTV Wrote: It's here - BBC Online now showing BBC News (UK) schedules for 3rd April.10pm until midnight just looks a mess for UK viewers - why not just continue with a straight simulcast of World output, including World News America? We know that viewing figures have collapsed on the NC after 10pm anyway since 'The Papers' was axed.
Basically as per now, but with extra edition of Sportsday at 13:30, Outside Source and The Context replaced by BBC News, short 5-minute Click segments during several hours, Newsnight simulcast at 22:30 - crashing into Newsday at 23:10. God knows why or how they are doing the Newsnight simulcast - the Ten often overruns and crashing into Newsday doesn't seem great - though at least no more guide dogs!
I see absolutely zero point in simulcasting what you can already watch on BBC 1 & 2 - give the few viewers who are left for the NC after 10pm a choice.
Just like, for example, TVE in spain. The news channel (24h) simulcasts the news bulletins of the main channel (La 1), but always with sign language, so they get away with a better way to justify why their news channel axed the 21h bulletin, and why the main channel axed the midnight bulletin for a simulcast of a debate show of the news channel some years ago.
