I watched the 18:00 News yesterday on BBC 1. The national bit was OK,
then they handed over to the regions. So what happened? The pictures
came from London, but the sound from Bristol! This lasted for 8 of the
10 minute allocation until someone noticed. I'm on the Mendip tx if that
makes any difference.

It happened on satellite too.

Of course, the Beeb have very strict 'Platform Neutrality' rules :-)

I guess they can't afford the batteries for their hearing aids these days.

Well it would, as it was a studio output switching fault.

Last week (Wednesday I think it was) the local regional news broadcasts
at 06:25 and 06:55 for the BBC London region were replaced with the
local South East news, covering Kent and Sussex instead. There was
clearly an issue, because during the 06:55 broadcast the presenter
'welcomed' viewers from London. No idea what the issue was, no on-air
apology either.

Apparently the presenter didn't turn up for whatever reason.
Why couldn't someone else step in? They would only have had to read a
script wouldn't they? Manuel out of Fawlty Towers could do it. Mr Bean
could do it.
