🟦 1/3 AI has much to offer the broadcast industry. But it's clear that governments need to act urgently to put meaningful regulation in place. It's already out of control. - It's not acceptable that AI tools are hacking organisations, without legal consequence for the AI companies responsible.

NEW: GB News has now spent a year as the leading news channel (though Ofcom treats its shows as "current affairs"). BARB data says it has been ahead of BBC News Channel and Sky News for 12 months in terms of average views. Still losing money, but gaining influence.

🟦 CLEAN FEED | The BBC News at Six is coming from Studio C this evening. It's usual home - Studio B - is presumably undergoing its annual maintenance.

WEBSITE UPDATE: Go back in time with the BBC - a update focusing on re-creating the look of the BBC. There are six more clocks. There is schools presentation from when programmes were temporarily shifted from BBC 1 to BBC 2. And more! 625.uk.com

🟦 CLEAN FEED | For an outfit the scale of BBC News, it's poor show how often the headlines carried on the TV news channel ticker are out of date. Both stories below have moved on. Surely it can't be difficult to automate this based on up-to-date data from the website?!?

🟪 TX | Looks like the Redruth and Folkestone MW transmitters for BBC Radio 5 Live have now closed as planned. Though the month on the transmitter reception tool is incorrect - listing March instead of July.

🟦 CLEAN FEED | Blooper | Bit of an issue at the end of the regional opt slot on the BBC News at One. This is the view from the BBC News channel, where a sport bulletin is shown during the opt. The programme got stuck on Sport graphics for the next few minutes, including straps.

FINALLY got our hands on one of these BBC Radio 2 mugs, which has been high on our wish list for a long time! One step closer to completing the full set mugs featuring the brilliant 1990 logo set! Shout up if you ever spot a genuine BBC Five Live one anywhere!! 🙏😆
