BBC Had To Replace Live Broadcasts With Recorded Material on its TV News Channels For an Hour Today Because of a Technical Glitch (bbc.com)
The BBC had to replace live broadcasts with recorded material on its TV news channels for about an hour on Wednesday following a technical glitch. BBC News reports: The News at Six was also presented from the BBC's Millbank studio instead of its usual home of New Broadcasting House. The issue affected OpenMedia, a new computer system rolled out across BBC News outlets over the past six months. OpenMedia supplier Annova has been helping to investigate the fault. Engineers believe they have now addressed the problem. BBC News Home Editor Mark Easton shared on social media that he was rushing across London to the Millbank studio.

HOW ABOUT YOU GET DOWN AND SAY IT?
Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition.
This newscast was prerecorded; events that were captured live were really captured at that moment. Due to some technical difficulties we will be broadcasting them with a delay of one hour, which will allow local law enforcement to dust for prints in the crime scene.
what with nothing but queen this, and monarchy that. the only thing worse than british television is german television. take it from me. take it all from me.
I see that previous issues include: "including robot-operated cameras that refused to stay centred on presenters."
Even robots don't want to watch the news.
Or some muzzies bombing the studios and ariels.
U canâ(TM)t handle the truth
I tuned in and saw this rather tall, thin guy reading the news from a desk on the beach for some reason. The newsreader said “and now for something completely different”, then they shifted to coverage of some bizarre event where people attempted to summarize Proust.

Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine â" the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someoneâ(TM)s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isnâ(TM)t there?
Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Whoâ(TM)s to blame? Well certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if youâ(TM)re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldnâ(TM)t be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night, I sought to end that silence. Last night, I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago, a great citizen wished to embed the 5th of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words â" they are perspectives. So if youâ(TM)ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the 5th of November to pass unmarked.
But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a 5th of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

The BBC did an analysis of variance on mean time between failures between the ANNOVA system, the previous software system, and doing it manually, and ANNOVA came in worst.
In other words, ANNOVA failed ANOVA.

No one really noticed.

The BBC news channel is rolling news. It has a tiny audience and consists of the same 15 minute script repeated throughout the day.. All that changes is the person reading it and the short, light, "inserts" on subjects nobody cares about.
The question is: did anyone watching notice that it wasn't live. And if they did notice, did they care?
politicians are like babies' nappies: they should both be changed regularly and for the same reasons
Anyone else remember Ananova? Was a news site that optionally used an avatar to read the news, very early one. I bookmarked that site for years, and in fact when the domain was expiring I tried to buy it simply in order to keep my bookmarks the same.
It's not the same product, but with it being news industry related and so similar a name, I wonder if it might have any of the same people around.
This just in from the BBC -- Argentina has invaded the Falkland Islands!
