| Many BBC journalists have completed a 24-hour strike in a dispute over compulsory redundancies.
The National Union of Journalists said it called the strike after failing to reach an agreement with management.
The disagreement was over the redeployment of 30 staff members facing compulsory redundancy.
The flagship Today programme on BBC Radio 4 was dropped from the schedule, replaced by repeats and short news summaries on the hour.
On television, BBC Breakfast was broadcast from London by a single presenter instead of its regular Salford hosts.
The usual programme was replaced with a 30-minute bulletin on the hour, followed by daytime programmes including Cash in the Attic and Escape to the Country.
