The rehearsal video is really interesting to watch, especially as I watched the Ten last night so interesting to see how the final output is checked and polished up before going on air. Thanks for posting.

Some foreign broadcasters' London bureaux are given a clean feed of BBC news studio output, so they can record reports, and repackage them on their own broadcasts, though posting recordings on the internet is probably a breach of contract

But it was an interesting watch nonetheless.

Oh, indeed yes

Why do they even need the cameras switched on while the presenter's preparing? Surely it's not that difficult to switch them off. And why do they need to feed this into other newsrooms??

If I was sitting in NC1 and wasn't getting pictures and sound from Studio E with 15 minutes to go, I'd be bloody terrified.

How else is the gallery supposed to see what is being prepared? Use their imaginations? Rolling Eyes Why keep switching things on and off? Just leave it on and its one less thing to worry about going wrong

If I was sitting in NC1 and with 15 minutes to go, I'd be starting camera rehearsals with the cameras that I has just switched back on.

Most of the rehearsals with the presenter take place in the last 15 minutes before air. Fairly certain that's where the footage came from. Or am I missing your point?

Odds are you won't be sitting in NC1 anytime soon, with 15 minutes to go or 1500.

You clearly have no idea what it takes to get a TV programme on air, or anything about studio technology for that matter.

That said, I'm sure even you can think of a reason they might want a feed of the studio output available in Australia yesterday. Give it a go!
