So it is! Been a long day, extremely confused and tired at the moment.

Notice how the vision mixer there is also doing a little sound mixing as well.... that's because for the past few years there has been no sound mixer on the programme. Ordinarily, the sound mixer would be in the sound control room just behind the person recording that video.

Vision Mixing, Directing AND sound op - what a joke! Rolling Eyes

The EPG has a morning news scheduled tomorrow is that a mistake?

Yes, if they can get away with just one person doing the job, I don't see the problem.

Jack of all trades, master of none. Good for them and I understand some organisations have to run things that way for financial reasons but I can't help but feel bad for all the sound ops, vision mixers and directors that have lost work in the industry because one person is doing all of their jobs.

With all this talk of the end of the Morning News, I can't help but wonder whether or not the only surviving overnight news summary has remained. I assume it was chopped along with the 5:30?

I know the Morning News has always been nothing more than a glorified news summary itself, but the news of its axing has taken my mind back to the days of the early 1990s newsroom era, with the outside shots from the atrium into the newsroom itself (I think the Morning News just started with a still atrium shot and short sting rather than full titles). It was such a great look for the bulletins, purely because of its simplicity. It didn't feel too much like a "generic" look either, because IIRC there were quite a variety of different camera angles for different bulletins. I recall John Suchet swivelling his chair round many a time during the Early Evening News for a different shot. Laughing
