‘Technical issue’ blamed for BBC live channels airing recorded programming (BBC screengrab)
The BBC was forced to run previously recorded content on its live news channel due to a technical issue.
Viewers were left baffled when BBC News’s Afternoon Live programme showed repeated programming from an hour beforehand, along with a small “recorded” banner visible on the top left of the screen.
However, the correct time remained at the bottom of the screen despite the system failure.
Due to a technical issue we're currently running recorded programming on our live news channels. We're working hard to resolve this as quickly as possible. The BBC News website is operating normally.
