You mean:
*shuffles papers, looks down*
“You’re watching *pause* BBC News”
*bulletin close, awkward pause*
*presenter re-appears*
“Now, on BBC News, we join our team at Politics Live for Prime Minister’s Question’s”
Smoother than crashing into guide dogs unannounced (which they did again after the News at Ten yesterday!) but still a bit odd really.
It was much smoother than that on Wednesday morning with no awkward pauses on either channel. News Channel presenter Rebecca Jones said they were joining Politics Live and they cut to the programme just as Jo Coburn said that News Channel viewers were joining them. (you can see how well it was done on BBC Two from39:45 www.bbc.co.uk ).
Not sure how the News Channel cut away from Politics Live. Presumably BBC World News was doing its own thing while Politics Live was simulcast.
