This is why the breaking news strap should be semi transparent.


Would have thought prior to the live stream that someone on the BBC end of things would have advised and assisted on framing...?

No, it’s why they should stop doing contributions by Skype.


I can’t see what would be wrong with a semi transparent strap. Just a huge block of red does nothing. There’s no way it’d be less attention grabbing if it was 50% transparency.

Some transparency is fine but I don't think this strap is much higher than the previous version.

Nice to see Steak Out on the BBC News at Six headline sequence.

Anyone else getting this on the News channel:
Edit: BBC News HD, and BBC Four HD, must be the multiplex.

BBC Four was showing the exact same symptoms until a few seconds ago. Looks like it's also stopped on the News Channel now.

The two channels are on separate muxes, News Ch HD on COM7 and BBC 4HD is on COM 8, so it was probably a fault with the BBC's circuit feeding Arqiva's code and mux site

Saw some headlines on the BBC News Channel the other day. Don’t really understand the 1 line vs 2 lines policy when it comes to the accompanying text. They had split one very short headline over 2 lines (something like “UK-US Trade Deal”) whilst there were longer ones on 1 line in the same sequence.
