It wouldn’t be too much work to either air some holding graphic (like they do with audio-only content in packaged news bulletin reports) or air the video version of the report for TV - often, radio & TV packages are the same, designed to be understood audio-only but with video content for airing on TV.
However, I object to the concept of “visualised radio” really in the first place and would rather just stick with the world feed anyway. If you want to listen to the radio, do that. It’s just simulcasting again, so we already have access to the output. Officially, the NC world feed isn’t available to UK viewers at all when we are opted out - so we lose access to that content in order to have a duplicate of something we can already get elsewhere. It makes no sense, especially when none of the radio programmes are really news-focused enough to work and heavily opinion-led programming doesn’t fit on the NC.
The global NC feed has the capability to deal with breaking news, being designed as a news broadcast - the radio shows really don’t.
