They seem to be having quite a lot of framing issues in studio E recently I’ve noticed it quite a lot over the past week or 2.
The national news is scheduled from 6-7pm and regional 7-7:30pm
Edit: just seen that the press conference has been moved to 7pm so I assume it’ll just go back to normal or maybe regional news shortened a bit to allow bbc news to take over before the briefing.
Quite a few cock ups and technical hitches happening on the BBC News channel this morning. Coming out of the Van-Tam presser Joanna was talking to the wrong camera for quite some time with Vicki Young doing her hair on the OTS monitor, poor Joanna hasn't been framed correctly on a few occasions, autocue seemed to crash at one point, issue just now coming out of the BOTH with the camera stuck and a reporter stuck on the fair OTS screen and an interviewee being introduced to get their views criticising something (a plan to support the hospitality sector in the North I believe) where they were in fact the person co-ordinating the plan. Oops.

If the press conference has been moved to 7pm I'd have thought it's likely that Panorama will now be postponed.
I'd agree that it would be an opportunity for BBC One to opt out around 7.55pm to the regions for an update on how it'll affect viewers in that area, and return to original scheduled programmes at 8.05pm. I imagine the press conference being delayed by an hour will have already messed up planning for regional news bulletins tonight, who's main story was likely to have been discussing how the announcement will affect their area.

Would actually be an argument for the regional news to follow the briefing regardless considering the localised nature of these lockdowns.

Panorama I assume will either go to Wednesday replacing a Garden Rescue reversion or just air next week.

It’ll probably be the same for itv evening news, they were probably expecting the main news from the briefing to already be out by 6:30 so instead we’ll have another main story of them speculating what’s going to happen.

The same place usually, although the News at One is run by the News channel team so some of the team probably stay seated at the NC desk area.
Does anyone know where the 'BBC News at One' team sit? I know the Six and Ten team sit in the main newsroom on the same side as the trundle camera. But where does the One team sit?

Isn't the PM announcing the measures in the commons at 3:30pm?
The press conference will be announcing it to the public, but they'll already mostly know as it will be on the News at Six/Evening News at 6:30

Ah yes, you’re probably right I forgot about the 3:30pm statement.

It’s seems that we’re now getting no regional news this evening🤔 and on sky Q EPG it’s just classed as ‘BBC news’

Presumably the regional news is planned to be on at 1900ish
EDIT - BBC News website now says the briefing is at 1900
