Coverage from Paris CDG this AM on News 24, got me thinking slightly. Breakfast was on air, and because the N24 set was being used, they were in full Breaking News mode. During the weekday, I just have a gut feeling this would have been another case of Breakfast not being News 24.
Admittedly in this case, it was probably also being covered on World - and so potentially 24 in cosy-mode could have simulcasted, but, well - I'm sure people know where I'm coming from here.

Well, if it was an extremely major story that broke - along the lines of September 11th - I'm sure that Breakfast would scrap its schedule and operate just as News 24 would in that instance (not forgetting that Dermot/Natasha/Bill/Mishal are all trained journalists - three of them having worked on 24 hour news channels already), or News 24 would break away and do its own thing. It isn't the case of BBC World and "The World", where only one can operate at a given moment - News 24 could quite easily break off and continue as normal.

I've seen a 70. Shame we haven't had a proper closedown with the new music as the bit at the start is fab.
I'm sure i've seen it on still 90, before a trail was played and then saw it countdown from 87, a while back now, but after relaunch.

No, I think the longest was about 55 secs, on the relaunch day.

I know there have been theories about the relaunched BBC News 24/World/National Titles about them resembling "BBC NEWS & NEWSREEL" spinning around a transmitter back in the early days but trawling through some video clips of more recent titles I have found a few things that resemble the current look for BBC News titles. Debate at will.
Firstly the obvious one, the 1950s News and Newsreel titles

Heres one from the 1980s and the Nine O Clock News with the segments of the words Nine O Clock News flying into London, but I think it slightly resembles the current BBC News titles.

Heres one from 1991 and the titles to BBC World Service Television News.

So there are the three ones that are similar to the current look, there may be more out there.

BBC World have been having problems with their TOG titles this weekend too. On Saturday, the headline was just a "BBC NEWS" logo - although not the text version. However, they weren't the pre-rendered (backup) version, as they are slightly different (BBC News logos are smaller - like on BBC1, and the two end logos appear simultaneously, as opposed to one after the other with the live ones). I saw a bulletin this morning, and the same large BBC NEWS logos were spinning around, yet it finished with the joint endcap - just "BBC NEWS" at the bottom. I've just tuned in for the 21.00 bulletin, and they're back to normal with a proper headline.

Anybody see TOTH at 2000? Used the 'NEWS 24' generic headline band on the ribbons. Reason?

I noticed some VTs on World earlier where the reporter name strap would appear at the start of the report, and then animate offscreen - then an information strap would animate on screen separately.
Isn't it usually the case that one would animate into the other, without going off screen first - or is this a case of one caption having been burned into the VT, while the other wasn't?

No it depends whether the Astons are being driven manually by the Director, in which case they morph, or Automatically by the Columbus system, in which case one has to finish befoore the next one animates on.
