NEWS 24 AND BBC BULLETINS WILL NOT CHANGE

THE BBC have denied all rumours that it has been considering plans to merge the output of News 24 and BBC News bulletins to form a single centralised news supply.
A BBC spokesman said: “There is no truth in these rumours. BBC bulletins at one, six and nine will continue to be run as they have been.”
However the development of BBC’s Breakfast programme, which pilots this month, has merged BBC Breakfast News and News 24’s breakfast programme. The BBC say that the breakfast news programme and the weekend bulletins are to be the only integrated news that the BBC would be broadcasting from the two news sectors.
The combination of BBC1 Breakfast News and News 24 has reportedly resulted in the loss of 33 posts through voluntary redundancies and redeployment, which in turn saved the corporation £1.5 million.
The Breakfast programme will begin on October 1.
BBC Head of news Roger Mosey has denied that BBC1 bulletins would appear on News24.
