Just as an "influencing decision-makers" update... I was back in a number of senior government offices this afternoon. Every screen I saw was tuned to Sky News. Until a few weeks ago, every single one would have been tuned to BBC News.

Or perhaps just scrap Victoria altogether on the news channel and output World News?


I'd prefer WN full stop between 0900-1100. VD can go on BBC Two with edited highlights on the NC in the evening during one of the back half hours.

When the slot is required for snooker and the like, it doesn't need to go on-air at all.

The same goes for Bank Holidays too which (if Digiguide is right) VD won't be on BBC2 at least on May 25th (Next Bank Holiday.)

After seeing this morning's debarcle (I.E the second Nepal earthquake breaking and VD Carrying on as normal), my view grows more than ever that VD needs to go from the news channel.

This was my own complaint that i sent a month ago to which i am still awaiting a reply.

Complaint Summary: Victoria live scheduling

Full Complaint: I want to complain about Victoria Live-In my opinion it should only be shown on BBC2 and not on the BBC News Channel-The scheduling on The BBC News Channel worked the way it was before Victoria Live was introduced as a breaking news channel-Victoria Live just doesn't cut it as a breaking news program-Might i suggest this for 8:30-11:00 from June 1st onward. 8:30-9:00-Business Live 9:00-11:00-Bring Simon McCoy back to the morning shift The rest of the BBC News Channel would operate as it is In Short I cannot see Victoria Live lasting on the lasting on the BBC News Channel more than 8 weeks at the most without either being shown just on BBC2 or the program being axed altogether-I hope action is taken about this.

Please note through that the June the 1st bit is now propably not going to happen, but the complaint still stands.

When I complained on the first day, I worded it in a way that I felt that the VD programme wasn't meeting the basic requirements of the News Channel service licence, such as regular news headlines and weather forecasts at regular intervals. Nor was it in the spirit of the News Channel format.

Reads like a rant rather than a complaint tbh and I'm no fan of VD. So I'm not surprised they haven't bothered replying.

You know, if VD took a leaf from the Global format, it might work a bit better.

Or save a bit of money, mess around with the BBC World Schedule and simulcast Global in that slot on the News Channel, BBC Two & World News.

It probably does look like a rant on reflection but the point still stands about VD just doesn't cut it as a breaking news progamme -do you have any suggestions on how to make it less ranty if i gave complaning another try.

This should have been a talkshow on BBC 1.

The ratings for BBC One's existing daytime line-up is just too good for them to even consider scheduling a 'topical' show in it's place.

I hear they've recently renewed Homes Under the Hammer for another 75 years
SDLF, bbcfan2014 and London Lite gave kudos
