BBC News Multiscreen

[Bob]

Don't know whether this is related to the BBC strike action...

Has anyone else lost News Multiscreen this AM? It could have gone on Friday, but I have only just tried to access it now

[mersey70]

Same here, there does not seem to be the multiscreen option in the BBC red button menu right now.

Isn't the strike over now? Well, until next time.

[Sasha222]

I dont have it either. I thought the strike was only a one day strike

[mersey70]

I think it was 48 hours from Friday, not 100% sure though.

I wonder if it's because the streams are being used for other things, quite a lot of sport today and there is a concert on it too, just a thought but probably wrong though!

[Sasha222]

There probably just blanking out anything to do with the news. Even with all that going on they always have the choice of the multi room.

[mersey70]

All the TV political shows and news bulletins were operating normally today, the radio seems back to normal too, at least what I listened to on R4 and R5 earlier.

[Sasha222]

They might be getting things back bit by bit so. Dont know

[mersey70]

Yeah probably, another strike on 14/15 so it seems.

[Sasha222]

What are they stricking over anyway?

[mersey70]

Proposed changes to the terms of their pensions

[Sasha222]

What is going to happen to there pensions as I haven't really followed up on the news in the last couple of days.

[mersey70]

The BBC want to change from a Final Salary scheme to another type of definition.

[Sasha222]

Oh right. I suppose the only way so is the strike or see can both side come to some agreement.

BBC news website appears to have died now.....

[Sasha222]

Should we give it a R.I.P. now are it is to soon
