The reason for the interruption? Saying goodbye to viewers around the world. Within seconds, the contributor was asked to continue her story - but this amassed quite a perplexed face as she didn't know what was happening. I really want to stick with BBC News, but when things like this happen it just makes it look quite sloppy. And this isn't anything against the staff working on the channel; it's just a shame this is what is left.It's one of the many flaws in the channel that are so obvious, fixable and avoidable that it is genuinely incredible that they made it on air and became part of the way things are done. Like with the way they deal with ad breaks on the UK feed, the first time you see it you instantly come up with three better ways of doing things in your head. It's just emblematic of the clear lacking of planning and thought that went into the merger.
