A round-up of the week’s stories and observations.

Monday 19th June

6.10pm BBC One news programmes move studio

The BBC News at Six is coming from Studio E this evening rather than its usual home, Studio B.

Presumably, there are technical problems in B?

The programme schedules used in Studio E don’t appear to have the most up-to-date version of the opening titles (though most viewers won’t notice that).

UPDATE (TUE 20TH JUN): BBC One news programmes remain in Studio E for a second day due to “technical issues” in Studio B.

However, title sequences have now been brought up-to-date, for the 1pm, 6pm and 10pm programmes.

UPDATE (WED 21ST JUN): the BBC News at One was still based in Studio E. But by 6pm, BBC One news programmes were back in Studio B.

Issues with the cameras in Studio B is believed to be the reason for the short-term decamp.

11.30am Premature cuing of closing sequence on Sunday with LK

There was a bit of a presentation blunder near the end of today’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, with the closing sequence being cued prematurely, immediately after an interview with Rick Astley.

The closing sequence/credits were recued moments later, when Laura completed her closing link.
