Local news

After BBC Sport's uncomfortable weekend of torn loyalties, BBC Local Radio will be solid in its 24 hour walkout by members from 11am, and, strategically, management ought to just plan to play out standby material - some sort of joint national service might be easier, but much  more provocative. But what will be the decision about tv regional output, where the walkout might not be as well supported ? 

Jason Horton, Director of Production, will be trying to work out whether a blank screen at 6.30pm is the least divisive outcome.  Will various regions try to produce the short lunchtime bulletin ? 

A reminder that this strike comes as a number of journalists are having to apply for their own jobs.
