A BBC News spokesperson tells us: "Our signers work across the BBC on live and pre-recorded programmes. This means it's not currently possible to provide ad-hoc signing for breaking news on the BBC News Channel, because we have designated slots where signing is provided, chosen at times where we can reach a large number of viewers who use the service. Signing is provided by the BBC's play-out partners Red Bee Media. We provide them with a feed of our studio output and they then add the signing and send the signal back to us for distribution. The Mandela memorial was covered from a different studio to our usual one, which meant it wasn't operationally possible to provide signing in the normal slot. However, we are committed to providing signing for our viewers, exceeding the quota outlined by Ofcom, and from 1 January 2014 we will be providing signing on the BBC News Channel, seven days a week. Subtitling is provided on all News Channel output."
