One thing I like about the new channel is…
“LIVE from London, THIS is BBC News”
If anything it has the potential to counter the London-centric criticism if it’s used to highlight the other locations that they now broadcast from.
But in order to do that they need to use the same wording for each location…
“LIVE from Washington, THIS is BBC News”
“LIVE from Singapore, THIS is BBC News”
…and today…
“LIVE from Belfast, THIS is BBC News”
But if a memo has been sent out, they’ve not got it. Lucy has just started with…
“This is BBC News, LIVE from Belfast”
And yes, I’m asking for consistency which I’m more than aware isn’t the BBC’s strong point!
