Increase your competitive advantage

Congratulations to all chums in BBC news management who have recently been acquiring new skills (the sort of tosh you get on Linkedin). Today's the day!  The joint union walk-out at noon should look interesting across the Entwistle Piazza (unless management put the revolving doors into maintenance). But the on-screen look of the BBC News channel and bulletins will be more interesting.

Much of the technology for tv news is now connected in transmission by software developed in Norway by Mosart. In what must be excused as Scanda-adspeak, Mosart is "making newscast a one-man show".  Here's more of the blurb...

The idea of the Mosart was conceived in 2002 at TV 2 Norway by enthusiastic and professional news directors, producers and editors, all of whom had a vision of simplifying the many tasks of controlling the production chain of a news broadcast, to improve the channel look and feel, de-risk the operation by eliminating operational errors, and offering the opportunity to control a news channel via one operator where appropriate, thereby reducing costs.

All fine and dandy, when the one operator is fully trained and experienced. Perhaps less so when it's a boss with a hurried spell of familiarisation...
