Like the transmitters, the playout centre, main block CTA (SCAR survived by the skin of its teeth), Outside broadcasts, studios, etc. etc.

All thats left is bits of Sport, Childrens, and News.

BBC1 Traffic cops last night
For those that missed the above programme it seems that the police have new powers to remove uninsured cars and unlicensed drivers from...

Are you kidding? Our department had to get a new manager in to liase with the staff that got sold off. Then they got rid of the only useful "manager" style person and we can't buy anything anymore cause noone has a clue about SAP.

Oh, got a few consultants in too to discuss value for money (HAH!)

In 2002, no 2006, no 2008, wait 2009, or is it after the Olympics? BH is more over budget and delayed than a typical government computer project, badly specced, and just isn't going to happen in our lifetimes.

News is moving there of course, alhtough the nationals and breakfast have just re-launched with some new cameras that arent HD upgradable (forward thinking!) because of a video wall that looks poo.

Anyway, I digress.

(All things stated are mine and shouldn't be taken as being an official statement of the BBC, be nice if Chomper was honest though. Bring Back Birt!)
