Not The BBC News
Seconds into the opening titles for the BBC News at Six â and after the opening network and Scottish headlines â The One Show studio was put to air.
Presenters Clara Amfo and Alex Jones were seen and heard chatting with members of the programmeâs production team.
The presenters were also seen having a promotional photo taken and recording a short video for social media ahead of tonightâs live show.
The BBC News at Six was put back on air â with over two-and-a-half minutes of the programme missed.
Launched on Thursday but as this video noted in the description, it was tested in as early as July. Now apparently available on iPlayer between sunrise and sunset.
BBC NEWS CHANNEL LAUNCHES ON 9NOW
Yet nothing on Britbox, a platform the BBC owns and controls.
Will the launch of BBC News Channel on 9Now have any impact on the BBCâs deal with SBS? The latter shows the weeknight editions of the 6pm and 10pm news from BBC One.
the picture quality is great!
lovely to have easy access to it on TV - instead of casting it from my phone on BBC.com to the TV lol
Itâs on Foxtel and doesnât have any impact on the ABC using it for a strike day.
Itâs on two platforms (SBS only carries, as you said, BBC1 bulletins). Great. And thatâs all it is.
It might be nitpicking, but Britbox is operated by BBC Studios, which are the commercial entity, not the BBC broadly. Itâs also clear the focus of the platform is the distribution of their entertainment offerings, hence the name Britbox (as in British Boxset).
Who do you think is dealing with Nine? BBC studios.
I donât think itâs been on Foxtel for some time now.
Foxtel dropped it nearly 2 years ago. It remains only on Fetch.
Never said they werenât. Still doesnât change the fact that Britbox is focused on distributing British entertainment, not news content.
