• Do the BBC have really problems with "line" or is it with the staff?

    From Robin@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 15 17:50:34 2022
    Yet again a Radio 4 interview with someone moderately fairly important
    (on "PM" with the Czech Foreign Minister) frustrated by a bad "line".

    I recall when complaints were made about this c. 10 years ago the Lord
    High Technologist insisted they did everything they can to avoid these
    glitches which were very occasional. Does "everything" include
    collecting evidence of when a phone would have been better?

    I can understand that a phone may not be practicable for a journalist
    reporting live from the middle a field on a plain in rural Ukraine. But
    is it ignored even for a foreign minister in a European capital because
    it's 20th century technology and not /technically/ as good a quality as
    a "line"?
