🟦 CLEAN FEED | The late news got underway just before midnight. Oddly, still branded as "10".
🟦 CLEAN FEED | The late BBC One news will certainly be late tonight because of a certain football match. EPG data currently suggesting 11.30pm start but likely to be later than that.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Programme Change | As a tribute to Sam Neill, ITV 1 is screening Jurassic Park at 10.45pm.
☕️ PRES CAFE | ITV 2 apparently used this CITV ident to introduce last night's edition of Love Island. >> FORUM LINK/CLIP: pres.cafe/showthread.p...
🟩 ORACLE | Back in the 1980s people in the TVS region tried to save their newsworthy events for weekdays because TVS didn't bother updating their news pages on Oracle at the weekend. Image: teletextarchive.com
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Programme Changes | Early finish for Wimbledon again this evening on BBC TV. So the revised BBC Two line-up:
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Programme Changes | Evening of Wimbledon ditched at the last minute on BBC One. And a Bonnie Tyler tribute after the late news.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Looks like STV has switched to Glasgow-based presentation for the STV News at 6. Andrea Brymer is presenting the programme today on STV Central and STV North. Parts of the prog are the same but the mid-section seemed to be split, albeit Andrea presenting both.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social tries to unmask @countbinface.bsky.social...
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Programme Changes | The planned evening of Wimbledon on BBC One has been replaced. #EastEnders moves back to BBC One.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Norman MacLeod has announced on social media that he's leaving STV after almost 40 years with the broadcaster.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Blooper | Mic issues cause Newsline Weather segment to be cut short.
Whoever created the "BBC TV" lettering here didn't do it properly. The "B" design in particular is out of step with the rest of the lettering. Had they designed the "B" correctly, the "BBC" lettering would've been rather similar to that of the 70s/80s striped 'BBC 1' logo.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Sky News (Australia) to become... ...News 24. As hideous logos go, this one's right up there.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Extended live tennis means tennis and cricket highlights are now even later than they were originally. Pointless on a linear channel really.
🟥 REWIND | In the 1970s, the Irish minister with responsibility for broadcasting meets with his British counterpart to discuss the possibility of rebroadcasting BBC One on the RTE transmitter network. >> ARTICLE from RTE Archives: www.rte.ie/archives/202...
🟦 CLEAN FEED | No time for the late regional news on BBC One tonight. Let's have a Blankety Blank repeat instead.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Per pres.cafe, the 6.30pm BBC South Today was replaced by BBC South East Today, for reasons unknown. South Today headlines appeared at 6.01pm; but did not at 6.21pm. The wall of regions/nations at 6.30pm showed a presenterless South Today studio.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | The test card put in an unexpected appearance on Monday on BBC News, as a placeholder image on a pushback graphic about the Venezuela earthquake.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | As spotted by someone on pres.cafe earlier, the fake vent grilles in the BBC News Salford studio are beginning to peel off again.
☕️ PRES CAFE | UKTV channels were off the air for a time on Monday morning. The cause of the blackout is unknown. >> THREAD LINK: pres.cafe/showthread.p...
🟦 CLEAN FEED | STV News changes now appear to be underway. Today's lunchtime bulletin from Glasgow went out on both STV Central and North. It included stories from both areas while the weather covered all of Scotland.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Radio | Whilst BBC Radio 4 LW officially ended at 1am on Saturday, here's the moment the LW transmitter (in this case Droitwich) was shut down for good late this morning. Clip: SW Radio Listener/YT.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Radio | BBC Radio 4 Long Wave has now closed. R4 announcer Al Ryan provided the closing announcement. A pre-recorded looped announcement about the closure will run until Tuesday, when the 3 LW transmitters will be switched off. Clip: The Buzzer Channel/YT.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Radio | Chris Aldridge is the duty announcer on BBC Radio 4 this evening and presumably will have the honour of marking the end of the station's Long Wave transmissions at the close of the station's daily schedule shortly before 1am.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Blooper | Looks like BBC London didn't get the memo that there would be no regional headlines after the national headlines for BBC One's BBC News Special at 8.30pm.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | More schedule changes this evening on BBC One and BBC Two as a result of extended news coverage. EastEnders moves to BBC Two.
🟦 CLEAN FEED | Acting CEO BBC News Jonathan Munro appeared on this week's edition of Newswatch to discuss the BBC News budget cuts announced this week. Newswatch airs on BBC News channel at 3.45pm. >> IPLAYER LINK: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
🟦 CLEAN FEED | No late ITV News at When tonight on ITV 1. A 15-and-a-half minute programme was streamed live online instead. Peston keen to ensure his hand jewellery is on display at all times.
