BBC News (UK)
Watching Breakfast this morning and guessing it is a natural reaction for many presenters to raise their voices when talking to an interviewee in the monitor or camera at the other side of the studio. Perhaps someone should have word.
Fran Unsworth, Director Of News, is expected to leave The BBC according to The Guardian:

Quote:The BBC’s director of news, Fran Unsworth, is expected to leave the corporation, sources at the broadcaster have told the Guardian.

Amid worsening relations with the government and internal battles over a staff reorganisation, Unsworth is soon expected to announce retirement plans.

Quote:She is due to address staff on Tuesday afternoon about BBC News’ ongoing restructure and job cuts, which will see many journalism roles moved outside London and other staff taking redundancy. The process was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, leaving many anxious staff unsure of their positions for more than a year.
Mimi Fawaz is now name-checking herself at the start of the sports news bulletins on the News Channel. Someone must have had a word in her shell like... Wink

Another programme returns - and three BBC World News brands return on Monday too.

Nice new pre recorded shot of the newsroom too.
Live with Lucy Hockings, Impact with Yalda Hakim and Global with Matthew Amroliwala are all back on Monday! Could this mean the return of Newsroom & Afternoon Live on the News Channel (UK)?

It must signal something at least. Branding has slowly been returning recently and I'm ready to view the schedules for both news channels for any changes coming.

I think from what we've seen so far they are bringing things back online at a slow pace. I reckon World first and the NC will follow.

I'm certainly not going to miss either if they don't return. Not only was it always an odd choice for them to ditch the BBC News brand for two entirely generic programme titles, but neither were presentationally interesting either.

I quite liked the music on both, but I never saw how they differentiated from any other hour on the News Channel apart from the weather being done in the studio.

Yeah, the music was nice, but nothing special - which is more than can be said for the titles and graphics.

They were both basically just attempts to try and make rolling news more appointment-to-view, which, of course, misunderstands the entire purpose of a rolling news channel. There were a few bespoke segments - such as the around the regions bit on Afternoon Live - but mostly they were just rebadged standard BBC News channel fare, albeit ditching the BBC News name for some unclear reason.
If afternoon live did return. who would host it?. Martine?.

Martine definitely, since she’s the most charismatic. I can’t seem them continuing with the current trend of a different presenter each day if it does return.

Really when was this announced, it will be to great to see them back and Studio C lit in multi colours again.
Indeed, World News will revert back to branded output from Monday. Glad all the lighting has been fixed, Harshy!

Not wishing to become rota-esque, but can anyone confirm the name of the presenter who led the Channel/World simulcast yesterday morning around 9am UK time? She did not name check herself at any stage and neither did her name appear on screen.

It’s the first time I’ve seen this particular presenter on World News.

(She was presenting from Studio E).

Thanks.
