iPlayer content are in 50fps, but 720p only.

Over on Newstalk, the presenter Andrea Gilligan mentioned the news shortly after the midday bulletin.

It’s 720p50 and the bitrate is 5MB/s - even higher than 1080i on Freeview… If your bandwidth is not enough there will be 25p clips.

It's not as if anyone's saying the coverage shouldn't happen, just that there's no need to simulcast it on several channels and take other channels off air. If the coverage was only on BBC1 and the news channel and other channels were showing other content, it wouldn't be depriving it from anyone who wants to watch it.

Clearly sounds like she was trying to get through and turned away from the camera quite quickly. Spot the two journos running across the newsroom in the headline sequence!

Thanks for locating that

I agree it’s clear she was told during the titles. She seemed quite emotional reading that intro into the Covid story, and raced through it at a great speed.

It’s also quite a talent to read obituary material off the autocue, that you are seeing for the first time, at the same time as changing your outfit, all with the knowledge that in a few minutes you are going to be the one to read *that* announcement on BBC One

Interesting how the networks quite seemlessly enabled the rest of the network to join the breakfast shows on the east coast at a flick of a button. I think that is the one slight criticism of the BBC yesterday that they couldn't get on air on BBC1 as BBC News broke the news.
