Ben Brown was much better during the 6.30 - 7.00 slot. Maybe he's nervous about tripping over a co-presenter which makes him appear worse when Emily's sat next to him.

The red flash-bar is completely different too. Animates more quickly I think.

No-one noticed the graphics change this morning?

The location strap is semi-transparent, and guess what?

It lines up with the split-screen (just about).

Maybe they read this forum?

I'm guessing the statement made at the airport has been embargoed to be broadcast exactly at the moment when Kember arrives home. The idea is probably so as to take the focus off him meeting his family members, but the news channels will just show both in split-screen.

Quite a few holiday-entitlement schemes run from 1st April, so maybe people are using up their allowances while they can? Or... it's just a coincidence.

News 24

First mocks I've published online - essentially it's a revamp for News 24, with a smaller tower, clearer(?) graphics and slightly smaller headlines. What do you think?

Basic tower and headline (the globe rotates as normal, but is reflected in the time bar above)

Simple headlines strap plus ticker (the whole tower slides upwards to incorporate the ticker)

It actually doesn't look too bad in that image, but on TV it's atrocious.

I think they've gone back to the old logo, with smaler |B|B|C| and larger "NEWS 24", but the trouble is they've stretched it, so the |B|B|C| is far too wide and the whole logo isn't centred properly either. It looks so bad I wouldn't be surprised if we saw last week's set back again.

Is it literally a case of getting a journalist or broadcast assistant to tweak the graphics, because I find it hard to believe a graphics designer would make such enormous howlers.

(Full 60 second countdown at 10am, by the way)

The One Show with Adrian Chiles and Nadia Sawalha

I've no idea how they'd do it in Bristol, unless they comandeer the Deal or No Deal Studio at Endemol West!?

Maybe the balcony in the Mailbox would work - where they do the Politics Show in the Midlands?

Ten O'Clock News presenter Huw Edwards has signed a new five-year deal with the BBC, giving him his own show on BBC News 24 as part of the corporation's ongoing assault on Sky News.

From 10 April, News 24 will introduce the Five O'Clock News with Huw Edwards which will go up against Jeremy Thompson's Live at Five on Sky News.

The hour-long bulletin will feature in-depth discussions with MPs, big-name newsmakers and is, say BBC insiders, an attempt by Edwards to establish himself as a hard-hitting interviewer.

News 24 controller Kevin Bakhurst told Broadcast: "Huw knows the BBC is serious about News 24 and putting our top talent on the channel. He was keen to have a role in that."

Also from 10 April, News 24 will simulcast BBC1's 1pm and 6pm bulletins, creating an "all-star" line-up between 5pm and 11pm featuring Edwards, Natasha Kaplinsky, George Alagiah, Ben Brown and Emily Maitlis.

Bakhurst said he would "do everything possible" to stay ahead of Sky News, whose ratings have dropped since a big-budget relaunch last October.
