5pm BBC News presenters face ‘screen tests’, reports iNews

Presenters on the BBC News Channel and BBC World News will have to undergo screen tests if they want to stand a chance of remaining on air following the merger of the two channels in April, according to a report in today’s iNews.

14 presenting posts will be axed as a result of the channel merger. Only 5 full-time presenting roles are available on the new-look channel. BBC One presenters are thought to be exempt from the screen test process.

8.50pm Dutch cable providers given end date for BBC SD distribution

Dutch cable providers who retransmit BBC channels have been given a stop date for SD distribution of 13th February for BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Four, and 24th January for BBC Three. That’s according to Dutch TV listings and media news site Totaal TV, citing a letter issued to distributors.

Dutch operators relay BBC channels, fed via satellite, as part of a commercial agreement with BBC Studios, i.e. they don’t get the channels for free.
