The BBC in particular have always been very careful about not starting those a second before 9pm (in fact, if I remember right, they always made sure the ident with the warning announcement would run post 9pm). if that is their policy, which is understandable, then commissioners should take that into account and commission 58 minutes instead. It does explain why the Sunday night season last year connected to this always caused the news to be post 2200. Depends what you value more - programmes running uncut or the news starting bang on 10. I know which I think is more important and I suspect it’s at odds with most here. Is there any reason, in this example, why both couldn't have happened?
According to iPlayer, Uprising ep1 is 59:10. With a 15 second watershed warning at bang on 9pm, that's finishing at 59:25, leaving you 35 seconds to intro the news before bang-on 10pm.

I understand Newsday’s place on BBC World News, but why on earth is it appropriate to randomly have a bulletin presented from Singapore on the domestic news channel? It makes zero sense.
This week it seems the BBC NC has effectively shut down at 7pm. Whilst this might be temporary due to Covid related staff absence, even before this week the only UK domestic output on weeknights after 7pm on the NC was 8 - 9pm and 2 x 15 minute paper reviews. If the 11pm Newsday edition will be permanent on the NC, what's the point in the NC providing just 8 - 9pm and 2 x 15 minute paper reviews for UK audiences every weeknight?
Might as well go the whole way and just operate the BBC NC as a daytime only UK service 9am - 6pm and simulcast with World 7pm - 6am, with a short edition of a back half hour filler programme at 6:45pm. Same at weekends.
Local news bulletins for regions in England - including BBC Look North - will be absent from BBC One’s Breakfast show from Monday as part of “short-term measures”.
It is reportedly due to “unprecedented staffing shortages caused by Covid”.

BBC News at 11am because of the olympics coverage. Is this the first time it’s been at 11?

I would be careful of believing any copy that 'publication'
produces. Apparently it will publish anything for clicks to its website and deliberately courts controversy.

Do we know the format or who is presenting on the News Channel when Olympic Breakfast is on BBC1? The Sky EPG just displays ‘BBC News’ for half hour slots on the weekend with features on the half hour and non stop BBC news on weekdays from 6am-9am.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/cel...ly-5688376 That article is nonsense (hence why I didn't post it here myself). Given the timing, it's obviously caused by the Olympics, not COVID. There'll be barely any national news, let alone local news, due to the sports coverage!
Also, COVID knocking the morning bulletins off air wouldn't even affect the main Look North programme with Peter Levy, as aren't the breakfast bulletins pan-regional, from Leeds, not Hull?

Though you could argue December 1986, if you include the old morning news summaries.

Ok, well, as one of those staffers, I'm going to highlight two things which I really can't emphasise enough:
Firstly, we are in the midst of a pandemic. Whilst 'double jabbed' and all of that might be used we, our employer (and indeed us individually) have a duty of care. I appreciate that the individual programmes being drip fed isn't ideal but so to is your workforce being off with a potentially life changing illness.
Secondly, we are operating a core service which does reflect the best of our journalism. To be frank, an integrated newsroom should be producing reports and programmes in this way. We now share and collaborate far more than the old days of a specific programme or channel 'desk'.
Things will change and return to a degree of distinctiveness but just in this period I do think it's important to recognise that people are doing all they can.

Thank you for stepping up and writing what you have. I’m sure it’s very challenging reading criticism and tabloid muck when the truth is right there in what you’re written.
I too have friends in the Newsroom who are finding it as challenging as it can be. I honestly can’t imagine trying to keep multiple channels on air during these mental times.
Best of luck
The issue with the new newsroom background came clear this morning when it was used 6-10am, it obviously is set to be the newsroom at night with the blue lights but that does not make sense at 8 o’clock in the morning. Surely they made a version without the blue light effect. Or they could have just used the beautiful London backdrop that world normally uses.
