Assume all mics are on surely extends to assuming all cameras are broadcasting what they see! Easy to get caught out, but that is TV 101 I’d have thought.
One thing that strikes me about the new channel is a lack of ‘warmth’ in it - maybe that’s not fair because I’m comparing to when I watched the old channel much more many years ago, but the likes of Simon McCoy, Mathew Amroliwala and Jane Hill, the network presenters on the 5pm hour - there was something inviting about them, it didn’t just feel like news but like news brought with a little warmth, sometimes humour, some insight.
When I’ve tuned in recently, I just don’t get that at all. Is it lack of familiarity? Something about preferences of world audiences? Lack of double-headed presentation? I don’t know, but it’s a factor in why I rarely watch and prefer the 1/6/10 or other channels.
