BBC News 24 Relaunch
What the hell is that V I C T O R Y P A R A D E about on the sting? It looks rubbish and pointless - rest of it looks good though.

24
BBC Press Office has said that the BBC will not be buying the next season of 24, leaving it open for Channel 4, 5 or (please not) Sky One to show it. They couldn't reach a deal with Fox (remember the whole conditional access satellite hoo-hah) and so presumably we've seen the last of Pure 24 too. There's an article on everyone's favourite Media Guardian as well.BBC Press Office

I don`t think many people would argue with that c@t, the point others are making is that this article is using the fact that News 24 was showing HardTalk at 12.45 when Sky was showing news as normal.
If this so called Editor-in-chief of Guardian Unlimited had checked another article on the site she edits, she would have discovered that News 24 was showing HardTalk because they were broadcasting from emergency facilites, which were also being shared by BBC1 news. HardTalk was showing because the studio facilites at Millbank were needed for preperations and broadcast of the One O Clock News. It is just one example of sloppy journalism at Media Guardian (at least on the online edition).
Not just the online edition - Emily Bell's Monday columns are always printed in the actual editions. I read it this morning and was astounded she didn't point out that fact. It actually creates a devastating flaw in her concluding argument!
And she is the Editor-in-Chief!
It's a bit difficult to argue too strongly with her mistake though - she will just happily admit that she and most journalists are watching Sky News. Still sloppy journalism and unfair on the BBC's part - i hope they complain.

I think the point she's trying to make is that News 24 lacks the pace, interest and "stickability" of Sky News.
The problem isn't the amount of people watching, it's how long they watch for. In this respect, Sky is leagues ahead. Sky's more snappy, interesting, busy approach keeps viewers watching... News 24's doesn't.
Same situation with Fox and CNN in the US. During the war, more people actually tuned into CNN, but Fox viewers stuck around for a lot longer.

Well i was wondering how these projectors were 'state of the art' - perhaps this is how.

Just had a thought. If those new screens are projected, won't they cost a lot to run / not be that practical?
Projectors always seem to require new bulbs on a regular basis and I always assumed they shouldn't be used for long periods of time.

Broadcast is saying there are 3 zones in the studio - including one just for presenting breaking news stories.Quote:
The BBC's former media correspondent Nick Higham is to present a new nightly analysis slot on BBC News 24 as part of the channel's revamp which goes live on Monday (1 December).
Higham, who left his media brief earlier this month after stating he was "under-employed", will become the channel's "chief analyst", fronting the thrice daily Nick Higham's Fact File, in which he will explain in more detail the major story of the day.
"It will look at where the facts are in the story and it will encourage people to ask questions more," said BBC head of television news Roger Mosey.
The move is part of a bid to inject more analysis into the channel following the Lambert report into its workings last year.
Other changes include making more use of the BBC's network of 1,200 regional journalists and the breaking of more local stories.
A new set - designed by Simon Jaygo who also worked on Five and Channel 4's new looks as well as ITV's upcoming revamp - will feature three zones with state-of-the-art digital projection screens and space for presenters to move around. One of the zones will be used to present breaking news while viewers will be alerted by new graphics and sounds.
Mosey said the revamp would update the channel - which costs around £50m a year - although it would keep its more upmarket feel. "We want to be the best recognised and the best quality news channel in the UK," he said.
News 24 currently pulls in a weekly reach of 4.2 million multichannel viewers compared with 4.8 million for Sky News and 2.3 million for the ITV News Channel. In the report - ordered by media secretary Tessa Jowell - former Financial Times editor Richard Lambert called on the channel to give more time to foreign stories, make more use of its regional resources and break more news.

From that article:
"We won't be doing anything like skateboarding ducks underwater. If anything, our agenda will stay the same."
Now that is a real shame - I wanted more of that.
The new-look service, which launches on Monday, will highlight the big stories and house pundits such as the Guardian's David Aaronovitch and the Times' Janet Daley more effectively in the schedule."
Just a minor point - isn't Janet Daley from the Telegraph?
Even more strangely, David Aaronovitch is now at the Independent - bit of a bleedin' stupid mistake for the Guardian to make about a writer who left last month!!!
David still works at the Guardian - I read his column the other day.
Yep, think I got it the wrong way round: MediaGuardian

Proper Crimbo!
Sorry, I had to reply to this just out of sympathy - I can see it slipping slowly down the page as people nod off.
