BBC World/BBC News - Technical Issues Again??

You think domestics is distracting. I show you World’s



WBR is live from a very blue studio B.

And to top it all off, the weather system fails.

Maryam Moshiri is now LIVE from Studio B. All looks normal.

Any chance of them switching back to ENPS? This is a major failure and likely well past their downtime requirements.

Source says that there are currently many people in the gallery attempting to fix the issue. BBC News staff have told me how frustrated they have been at the new system over the past few months.

Our IT is basically broken - however, there will OF COURSE, be @bbcnews at 6 - apologies in advance if it ends up being me talking about Brexit for half an hour

I guess going to Millbank, even if things get fixed properly will be seen as the best bet? Imagine the papers if the six or ten went off air.

Blimey! The BBC Six O’clock News, brought to you by London Transport Police. And Fiona Bruce.

If Fiona doesn’t make it in time, I wonder who’s going to open and from where!

Nice little windows error on the screen in the car there.

This is turning into a real life W1A Episode!

Now, is it an IT system wide issue or relegated to the Open Media servers. If it’s the latter wouldn’t they have backup servers located elsewhere that the software could fall over to?

I mean local news groups here have a primary on site and an off site backup.

Global a back up.



Probably a political reporter.
