BBC World/BBC News - Technical Issues Again??

This hour started out briefly with Duncan Golestani starting to speak before cutting to live programming starting with the opening sting.

7UK hour with Krupa Padhy. Straight into the full length theme music. No headline sequence. Static camera opening wideshot. And straight to a static tight headshot of Krupa delivering the first story.

Clearly still having problems.

Second story also tight headshot. Wide shot for interview with Afghanistan Correspondent.

Seems to be to normal with the 8am UK hour

Yep. Same at World. Back to normal at 8am.

What a mess. Has a network ever struggled so much after moving to a new building/system?

Yes of course, those countless thousands of hours of trouble free broadcasting from BH..
.. Questions must be asked in Parliament.

Just seen Martin Stanford on BBC news. When did he join?

He is now freelance, but has been on a few times.

I know it’s not fun when things go wrong at any place, and system implementors must be tearing their hair out but as a mere viewer it’s fascinating when things go wrong, and how they deal and go about still getting a broadcast out there even though it’s not fully working.
