Have been told from source that BBC News Channel's new software, Open Media has failed. The channel cannot broadcast live as a result so they have been forced to repeat what was on the channel an hour ago.pic.twitter.com/VXTBqxKtbB
Source says that there are currently many people in the gallery attempting to fix the issue. BBC News staff have told me how frustrated they have been at the new system over the past few months.
So basically... "AFTERNOON LIVE" is not currently "LIVE"
BBC News PR has told me that "we're looking into it." Source says that there is "no estimate" when the channel will be back on air.
BBC News Channel has now been showing 'recorded' footage for more than 30 minutes.
In case you are wondering what OpenMedia does: it is the software that BBC News uses - it manages the scripts, audio, tech and more. News Channel and World News use the new system, Radio 4 does not (yet).
BBC News Channel has returned to air after an hour being off-air.pic.twitter.com/Qr441RLq41
BBC World News is also back on air. In sheer coincidental news I am due to be a guest on the world news channel in the next 30 minutes to talk about Black Mirror.
An internal email says that the “OpenMedia fallback” was not successful and that although the channels are back, “there is difficulty creating new items.” Support teams are working on fixing it entirely.
Oh wonderful. A meta BBC News piece about BBC News and how the BBC News Channel was not being able to broadcast live due to a failure of BBC softwarehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45812540 …
Hearing that due to ongoing technical problems at New Broadcasting House, the BBC News at 6 will be instead broadcast from Millbank Studios in Westminster.
