Ever wondered
what goes on behind the scenes on a ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News and Sport bulletin? Want
to have a go and see how it's done?
Ìý
This summer visitors to big events around the UK will
have the chance to try as ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News and Sport go on tour.
The tour team will be travelling to events around the UK during July,
August and September, giving the audience the chance to find out more
about the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's sport, news and weather programmes, meet some of the
people who make them happen and have a go at some of the roles themselves
in specially built television and radio studios.
Presenters from national, regional and local ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ television and radio
will be on hand to offer tips to budding presenters.
Ìý
Among the figures taking part are:
Brian Hanrahan, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Diplomatic Editor; Darren Jordon,
³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ ONE's One O'Clock News; Robert Nisbet, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ ONE's The Morning
Show; Tazeen Ahmad, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ THREE's 7 O'Clock News; and Peter
Donaldson, Radio 4.
Ìý
They will give visitors the inside track on what it's
like to present a live programme - under the glaring lights, reading
from an autocue, while being talked to in an earpiece by a director.
Ìý
The tour team will also include some of the journalists,
producers, editors, directors and engineers who work on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's programmes.

They will explain how they do their jobs and will guide
visitors through the process of putting together a programme.
The visitors will be able to read a news bulletin or operate the camera,
sound, vision desks or autocue.
Ìý
They will also be able to create a story for ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News,
Sport or bbc.co.uk/cbbc, taking a guided tour of the sites with the
journalists who work there.
