In these days of multichannel digital TV is there anyone who can receive
a version of BBC 1 but who can not also get BBC News (24)? -- Michael Chare |

I'd not say there was. I know its pretty pointless putting out news on the
main channels when its there all the time, however I do notice a trend on bbc news to actually have progtrammes like things about computers, or small features, rather like the other news channels except Sky do, so one cannot actually say that you can catch the news over and over.

Anyone who can receive BBC 1 can just watch BBC News if they want. -- Michael Chare |

I suppose if you receive the HD multiplex okay (Freeview) but for some reason do not have satisfactory SD reception you would have BBC One and BBC Two but not BBC News. Unlikely in practice, but could this phenomenon be encountered on the fringes of reception? Of course this may change when the new HD channels commence next week. |

Anyone who can receive BBC 1 can just watch BBC News if they want. Because the BBC and many (the majority of?) viewers of BBC channels consider BBC 1 to be the primary channel. They expect the most important things to be covered by BBC 1. Also, the BBC is competing with ITV, C4 and C5 all of which put special news broadcasts on their primary channels. If the BBC were to push news specials off BBC 1 on to the BBC News Channel they would be screamed at for showing disrespect by marginalising important matters. -- Peter Duncanson (in uk.tech.digital-tv) |

I fear you are correct. Sign of the confusion re broadcasting between a topic being 'important' and having 'specials' forced into the schedule being 'important'. I also wonder if they assume viewers have the memory and attention span of a goldfish. Perhaps even a way 'news' can show its place in the pecking order - just below sport. It is the *event* that may be significant, not the programme. It would often make more sense for the broadcaster to allow time to assemble a programme on the event. Then shedule it in a less disruptive manner. Slainte, Jim -- Please use the address on the audiomisc page if you wish to email me.

Now we're in this bold new age for digital broadcasting, there needs to be some, cough 'expectation management'. Shouldn't be difficult, the BBC are world leaders at ramming promos down our necks, and hyping up the nation to follow them, (c.f. recent Dr Who stuff) just requires the right sort of promo to be produced. -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply. |
