What percentage of TVL payers do you think watch BBC News main broadcasts on a mobile phone, seriously?

Furthermore, I can read lower thirds and a ticker on my phone! Why can't you? You do know you can turn it sideways, don't you?

Read his post again.   He's saying what you're saying.  

Please send that final point to everycreator of square-o-vision content on social media teams - phones were literally designed for 16:9 content!   And it is ridiculous the industry has prioritised spectrum for viewing HD content on 6 inch screens over viewing HD content on 40, 50 or 60 inch HD TVs.


As for the content it seems another big UK story and another poor performance from BBC News.   Far too much seems to have been compromised in these changes and I'm not sure the breaking news team is even fit for purpose.    Yes, it's harsh on young up and coming journalists or those who may have cut their teeth more on the World side of the operation but BBC News has always traded on authority - and authority rightly or wrongly comes from trusted, familar faces.
