But apparently network BBC1 does in fact still takes the news channel according to this post: pres.cafe
Bit odd that the gallery of regions was tonight showing Studio D for BBC London when they were actually in B as usual.
All of which could of course be solved with a closing sting for the national bulletin, even if that only plays out in the London area. I've never been convinced by the argument viewers will turn off if they play a 7-10 second burst of the pips, especially considering the regional news often outrates the national bulletin.
At the very least London could play their titles prior to the headlines.
