BBC DG Lord Hall has told staff that the current consultations on job and service cuts are being suspended. BBC News has been piloting 'new ways of working' to find £40m savings. It's not clear if this means The Victoria Derbyshire programme, currently just doing rolling news, will spring back to life when this is all over.
The sad irony is that News management is learning new and interesting ways of doing nearly the same with less, thanks to Covid-19.
Meanwhile, there are worries that BBC systems are wobbling, through the numbers logging in from home/isolation/the field. In News, since the arrival of ENPS, everyone wants to be a copytaster - the suggestion is that perhaps only those close to programme deadlines, morning and afternoon, should be hard-wired to the mothership. And perhaps, some further away from programme production should ease up on the Zooming.
