By the looks and sounds of it, 8pm edition of BBC News with Azadeh Moshiri came from the balcony, not Studio C, and it does not appear to be an opt out (Azadeh was on air all evening).


At 9pm it was back in Studio C.


Not sure if World feed has previously shown balcony studio presenting post-relaunch.

Apparantly Studio C had a rather significant breakdown at around 1826 yesterday.

For anyone who missed it, here's a summary of what's happened last night in the UK feed:

- At around 1822, a live OB froze in the middle of a live interview from Chinatown, London. For some reason, the director failed to cut back to the presenter and proceed with the running order...

The flipper continued to roll. The live strap and lower thirds were retracted 2 minutes later. The live OB froze for like 2 minutes.

- At around 1824, the UK feed switched TX (I presume Gallery A?) and went to a recording of the previous hour, including weather and promos.

- At around 1834, the UK feed crashed out of the recorded bulletin and went straight to Salford for what I presume a live edition of Sportsday.

There was zero acknowledgement on the technical issues from the sport presenter, in usual BBC fashion nowadays - as if nothing had happened. There was no flipper during that entire edition of Sportsday.

- At 1900, regular service resumed with the bulletin coming out of the Studio J/Gallery A. Again, zero acknowledgement on the technical issues from the presenter as if nothing had happened...

Anyone got a clue on the World feed when the breakdown happened? I feel like Red Bee pres would've taken over output quicker than the folks at NBH... Perhaps there might be a breakdown slate in the new fancy Chameleon style? (see yellow circle below)
