Bits

I suspect we're going to see more of the inside of presenters' homes over the next three weeks - and hear more of the spare bedroom acoustic of radio hosts working at home.

Big Names self-isolated:
Jon Snow (Channel 4) has been through it
Nick Robinson (Today Radio 4) has, I think, been through it
George Alagiah (BBC News) will be away for some time
Harry Gration (Look North host) has just started
Fred Dinenage, 77 (Meridian) won't be seen for some time
Susanna Reid (GMTV) has just started two weeks away
Matt Baker (The One Show) has just started two weeks away

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden is on the two weeks family self-isolation, and has been nicer to the BBC in Broadcast, hailing its unmatched ability to "frame our British sense of self". The bad side of me says he should be forced to spend the fortnight with just Netflix and Amazon Prime to while away the hours....

Meanwhile the RTS 2020 Programme awards were handed out virtually. Here's the gongs with BBC connections...
