BBC News (UK)

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this, but Victoria Derbyshire will be doing the News at One today:

I am trying to avoid rota discussion but it seems to be a significant change. Does this mean Victoria has moved to afternoon?

Also, the 9am newscast has been renamed BBC News at 9 instead of BBC News according to the EPG, and is no longer available on iPlayer starting Monday. But I don’t know if they used the numbered intro.

Some of the BBC One regions, given that they have no pre-recorded announcement yet for Victoria, seem to have had no-one available to do a live(?) announcement but had the national presenter doing the continuity. Therefore, no mention of the North West regional presenter, for example, before the start of the BBC News at One. (National continuity but graphic "BBC One North West" appeared on screen.)

The 9am news has been called BBC News at Nine for some time. The numbered intro (which IIRC was used for the evening version of the programme years ago when that ran) isn't used for the morning programme, which started a while ago after Annita announced it on Twitter. It has been available on I-Player as a legacy of it continuing to be simulcast on BBC Two. Thanks for the heads up on it no longer being kept for 24 hours on the I-Player, so I know I will now have to get up earlier if I want to see the programme. Dropping the I-Player, which seems to have happened already, brings it into line with the 11am news (what used to be Newsroom Live).

Previously the 9am cast was list ‘BBC News: BBC News at 9’ on iPlayer, but on the EPG it was simply named ‘BBC News’ since Covid. Starts on Monday it has been called ‘BBC News at 9’ on both platforms again, same as the pre-Covid era.

The iPlayer VOD is back…

And Newscast has returned on BBC One but still no fixed slot on the News Channel, the EPG mistakenly put Newscast into The Media Show slot.
