I was in London yesterday and happened to pass BBC Television Centre to which it struck me that this week marks the 1st Anniversary of BBC News at Broadcasting House. Can you believe a year has passed already.

Very odd considering Joanna Gosling seemed pretty clueless that had happened. I assume the gallery must have been too as it went on for a long time.

At 1245/1250 The signing studio is usually switched via the Network Switcher into the Channel distribution circuit.
So that the gallery are not distracted by the signer, the gallery monitoring is switched to a different signer-less feed - the clean BBC1 circuit.
I would have thought that signing had probably picked up the wrong feed, which resulted in a vision and sound feedback.
This would not have been immediately noticeable in the gallery, and certainly would not have be noticeable by the presenter.
As a result the channel was signer-less for the duration of the One.

Trundle cam was back at 2. The glass above Studio E seems to have been covered for some reason.

Blinds are closed at NBH, which Martine Croxall says on twitter is to stop the sun getting through. I think that is not the reason though.


Possibly a private staff memorial for the late Sir David Frost?

Did anyone get any screen caps of the Budget 'cafe' studio they used today (aka the weather balcony pres area). I only saw a few pics on Ben Thompson's twitter account but it looked like a great use of that area.

Unsure where to post this as it covers both the News Channel and World News. Some further details on the robotic cameras used at BBC News

On this weeks Newswatch a complaint that in switching between studio A and studio E on Monday before the Ten meant then weather was suddenly mid flow replaced by a static shot of studio E. Considering they must have switched between the studios around a 1000 times (at 5, 6, 9 & 10 each weekday) it seemed a tad harsh to include the complaint when it has probably worked faultless nearly if not every other time.

It isn't the first time that the BBC News Channel has cut to studio E during part of the BBC News at Nine the fact that it lasted four minutes is probably the main reason for complaint.
