Here is the News ...Behind the Scenes at BCB Online

BCB's multimedia news team is out and about around the region giving you the chance to see the world with Bradford's eyes. For the past month we've been concentrating on the radio news bulletins broadcast every hour on BCB 106.6FM. Now we're working on improving the video and online content.



It's been a fairly quiet day today after the excitement of the World Cup, a gunman at large in Northumbria and the Princess Royal in Bradford ... but the BCB news team is still busy.



Reporter Cat Marr (pictured, left) has been interviewing the West Yorkshire family doctor who's also Deputy Chair of the British Medical Association's GP committee to get his reaction to plans that would give GPs control over health service budgets.


More on that in forthcoming bulletins on 106.6FM, and Cat's video report will be posted here soon.





Meanwhile reporter Lauren Layfield (pictured, right) has been investigating the rise in drink-drive offences this month as temperatures soar and thirsty drivers are tempted to have one too many for the road.

Civic leaders have been trying on "beer goggles" to mimic the effects of drunkenness, and Lauren will be posting her video report online later.

Don't forget you can also watch the BCB news team in action with our live newsroom webcam (displays best in Firefox or Chrome browsers)
