C Block 1489 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 CBS News is forming a partnership with BBC News. This marks the end of CBS' partnership with Sky News and the BBC's with ABC News. The partnership includes full sharing of video, resources, and correspondents. The WSJ report also says it may include sharing or consolidation of facilities in the future. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-news-bbc-strike-content-sharing-partnership-1020724 Sounds like a big win for CBS, who struck at the right time. CBS is also a much better match for BBC News now than when the BBC first struck a deal with ABC in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It makes much more sense for the BBC to ditch ABC. With ABC's current focus to the BBC's are apples and oranges. I just hope this doesn't end Katty Kay's appearances on MSNBC and Meet The Press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVForward 92 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Might explain this... ABC News Hires BBC Correspondent James Longman For London Bureau Although James Longman has that ABC News look about him. Can the "Men of ABC News" calendar be far behind?

If you followed his Instagram there's more than enough for his own calendar. He even had a YouTube video of him and boyfriend (?) singing " " on a beach somewhere. It was on the same account as his demo real and appears in the related video section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1679 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It gets more interesting as they made one that was posted on his WORK Facebook that's now been deleted with him and the same guy in the hotel bedroom. It was pretty good. I must say those brits are very liberated (not prudish - where anchors here get trashed if they post a bathing suit pic) when it comes to this sort of stuff. I mean the tabloid The Sun (which was the most widely circulated newspaper in the U.K.) had a Page Three girl where they were topless. And some nudity of both sexes is shown on broadcast TV where as in the US a bare nipple caused millions of complaints to the FCC. I say good for him. If you got it flaunt it. As an aside he seems to be a good reporter. I liked the "lovely films" he did for Victoria Derbyshire program especially the mental illness one - which caused me to follow him on social media.

And in fact, the CBS News video archives have been part of the BBC archives for at least twenty years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1151 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 This BBC partner switch makes a lot of sense, and should form a more stronger bond with CBS than with ABC. He even had a YouTube video of him and boyfriend (?) singing " " on a beach somewhere. I've seen that Longman video. I saw it from a link in the Chatbox some time ago. Quite entertaining. Really nice IMO to see a reporter have fun every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
