Much of what they read from the autocue, they write themselves. They will also be liaising continually with reporters to coordinate any live crosses. I do agree that it would be good if they stayed on for a couple more hours and helped provide some form of UK-only rolling news - but I also accept that the capacity for that may not be there at the moment.(15-05-2023, 03:49 PM)MFTJA Wrote: Good point about D being in a separate fire zone, I always seem to forget that, although has it ever actually been used for that purpose?
I initially thought that Studio B would be more expensive to operate than C/E, but the BBC said B required less power. I suspect the One moving so late is down to a mix of who produced it and the usual BBC inconsistency.
Is it back to having it's own production now then rather than being a news channel production considering the news channel now exists in name only and is essentially a World production.
And yes of course running a news channel is more than just the presenter but baffling we now are back to having anchors in to just do a half hour shift. Doesn't even seem like the One presenter is on standby for the breaking news service, though perhaps if something did warrant a news report on BBC1 now depending on the story they may be more inclined to use the network presenter rather than just opt into the news channel.
