BBC News Channel General Discussion

I'm sure they've been on for around a week now.

I presume this is a mistake, as on the News Channel a world advert was just shown.

Still happening in the 5am bulletin. Have the UK opts failed all night??

The BBC World Service is not a mistake as that is available to UK listeners, the BBC World News promo however is.

If you were rehearsing how you would cover the death of a major royal, you wouldn't want a guest for radio 4 wandering through reception
, seeing the coverage, and tweeting the fact, would you.

I seem to remember that catching sky out a few years ago

There aren't UK opt outs, The World News channel comes from Red Bee, they put in all the interstituals and programmes.

Overnight, it's effectively World that opts out of the domestic News Channel.

All of which makes it even more odd that the World News promo went out in the UK

Which is why the gallery output for such rehearsals has a large caption on it saying 'REHEARSAL'. They used to include other departments like Presentation so it was impossible to keep the output within the confines of the News Centre

Yes and no, Overnights are a bit of a hybrid operation. The BBC News bulletins themselves are a BBC World News production hence the program is presented from Studio C and uses their gallery (Local time on location bugs) and the presenters are people who are on BBC World News books rather then on BBC News such as Adnam Nawaz, Mike Embly, Kasia Maderia etc. The editorial staff are also BBC World News employees and therefore is there's a conflict of interests (e.g. Mandela's death vs heavy UK storms) then BBC World's news gets priority.
However, as Inspector Sands correctly points out, control of the output lies with BBC News domestic. Hence you commonly see a snip of the domestic countdown at the end of the World Countdown as they throw to Studio C.
Red Bee look after 'opt outs' on BBC World News channel for things such as ad breaks/breakfillers or prerecorded material such as BOTH programs, weather forecasts and features. BBC News sometimes remains with these as they don't have much else to show (Asia Business Report, Sport Today, Hard Talk etc)
Hope that makes some sense.

Meet the Author now in a nice new 'area' seemingly on the ground floor..? Is this a new space?

Whoops... no gallery talkback for Martine Croxall at the headlines summary just now, so Simon's taken the helm and Martine disappeared. Catch it here at 8:27am if you're bothered about watching, she's back at 8:32.
