BBC News Channel General Discussion

They've changed the colour scheme on the pushback for today. Much better palette.

I wish they could do something with the live bug, I just find it a bit annoying being pushed back with the picture

What is the point of this sidebar in 2015? It barely adds any more information and just shrinks the pictures, the thing which people watch television for. If I want a text round-up, I'll go online.

Isn't that just simply how their VIZ is set up and i'm sure could be tweeked?

The same thing happens when the signer is on screen during the News at One.

Perhaps it's the start of an evolutionary master-plan, and you might have unwittingly answered your own question there !

Oh wow! Despite tonight's news, the BBC News Channel is airing half an hours worth of Hardtalk and then no doubt an hour of the rigid. Outside. Source programme! Of to Sky News I go!

On the news channel, there has not been any other news today, no time for it because of the Paris attacks. Yet they still manage to fit in Hardtalk, half an hour of nothingness?

There has been other news - the stuff from Northern Ireland on the talks was taken live, and also a few lives from Chris Buckler.

Infact they crashed out of a report and stayed with it for about 20 minutes.

There have also been some short biz bulletins. Certainly one at 11.45.

The Biz updates were on most hours during the day. It seems they were trying to get back some normal structure.

I find it handy if I've come in the room part way through a piece as I can grab details from the text and still catch up with the current goings on at the same time.

Heavy gun fire now in Paris during a police raid, BBC still continuing with recorded programmes.
