Has Sport Today got a new look yet? I've seen the titles myself, a week or two ago I saw them, and just now I saw a sport promo on BBC World with Adnan sitting on the banana desk with a shot of the newsroom on on the projections. I hope they wont use that though, it looked bad!


The last time I saw sports Today it had the same look. That was sunday, so I don't know if they change it. The promo wasn't that bad though.
Probably they are about to revamp it. On their website they are looking for sponsors. It's being a while I think its in need of a new look.

BBC is preparing for the US Elections next year thats why they made Katty a US correspondent. She is very popular in the Washighton Media circle. She is a regular panalist on the Main NBC political shows, that is the Chris Matthew Show and Meet the Press. Shes smart and a good BBC insider in DC. Matt doesn't have those connections that Katty has, but he is a good reporter and experience one with gravitas. The needed a new face of represention in DC with Matt and Katty together playing a major role.


Yep - I realised that Katty is big in US political circles (AIUI she is apparently very good friends with Cherie Blair from years back?) and has great DC contacts, which makes her an excellent and informed White House correspondent - and able to effectively cover the wider US political scene (which Matt has done excellently for a couple of years to BBC domestic audiences)

What Matt brings is a wider experience of high quality reporting - he has a strong style of his own which is already coming across on camera. I've seen quite a few reporters try to switch to presenting - and the first time you saw Matt present on News 24 you realised he was going to be fine. (Even if he did make the odd schoolboy error initially)


I read on TV NEWSER last year that she appear the most on the Chris Matthew Show then another guest. Moreover NBC paid all their really good pundits between $1000-2000/ appearance. Shes good friends with Andrea Mittchel the former Federal Reserve Chairman Allan Greenspan, Whose also NBC chief Foreign Affiars Correspondent.

Am I the only one who thinks it should be the other way around on World News America!?...with Katty Kay as anchor & Matt Frei as main correspondent!? I think she comes across as much more relaxed and together when on set than he does...he just comes across to me as more of a correspondent/reporter! (just my humble opinion) I dare say she seems so much more controlled and plus I find his style quite boring!


Matt is much more highly regarded as a reporter in the BBC than Katty, and must thus be felt to have more credibility and gravitas as a presenter, backed up by that real experience.

Katty is very polished as a presenter, but doesn't have much depth to me.

At the end of the day - it is a question of who you think is more credible - and for me Matt is. I watch the 0030 simulcast front-half on News 24 - and wouldn't if Katty was presenting.

Quote:

PLUS...whats with him sitting to one end of the 'great big' oval desk!?...that makes absolutely no sense to me!!! It would seem more practical to put him in the centre of the desk...but I'm hoping theres some logic behind it!!!! although I quite doubt that!


The offset position allows for round-table debates with more than 2 guests I suppose?

BBC World Press Releases
EOLS 2007: BBC World number one for relevance, authority, impartiality and news channel quoted




Date : 08.10.2007
Printable version




Results released today, from the European Opinion Leaders survey, show BBC World is the most relevant, authoritative and impartial news channel, as well as the source most quoted among Europe’s most senior opinion leaders. The results also confirm that BBC World is the channel with the largest ‘regular’ viewership.

EOLS 2007 is conducted across 17 European countries among an elite universe of 32,000 individuals drawn from the worlds of business, government, law, media and academia. Fieldwork ran from April to August 2007 and 2,021 responses were received. They are experts in their field, whether key decision-makers in the European Union, members of think tanks, news editors, senior business people or members of the International Who's Who.

Those surveyed not only rate BBC World as the leading news channel for impartiality, authority and relevance, ahead of such channels as CNNI, Euronews, Bloomberg, CNBC and Al Jazeera, but for the first two attributes, more than all the other channels combined.

This select group of influencers and opinion-drivers also identify BBC World as the news channel they were most likely to quote. Indeed BBC World viewers remain unbeaten by viewers of other channels in terms of engaging in meetings with senior people and being asked their opinion by senior people from the world of business.

The survey also reveals that 14% of Europe’s most influential Europeans watch BBC World ‘regularly’ - more than any other channel. 27% tune in each week and 43% each month.

EOLS 2007 also reveals that BBC World has seen a steep increase (+63%) in the number of viewers who consider it ‘up to the minute’ since EOLS 2005. This increase could be attributed to BBC World’s ‘Putting News First’ TV, print and online brand campaigns launched in 2005.

Jeremy Nye, head of audience research, global news division, BBC World, says, “It is hugely gratifying to see that this eminent group of leaders in their fields respect the high-quality global news programming that BBC World provides and considers the channel more relevant, impartial and authoritative than any other news channel. They are an immensely influential group, which makes their propensity to quote BBC World to their peers and social circle, above all other channels, all the more significant.”

Fionauallla Sweeney is more of a lone anchor, but i think she is alrite co presenting, but not with max foster. Max Foster is boring just like Eammon Holmes of Sky News, I think Max is poor at anchoring, failing to interact with the co-anchor making it cringeworthy to watch CNN Today sometimes.

Put Monita and Adrian together then it would be a hole lot better. But adrian is not reli a morning person

or

Richard and Monita, like the good old days but he is a loud for the mornings


I always felt that he was the most boring anchor. He is so cold. I hate the way he does his mouth went reading and when his co-anchor is reading he just stirs and look into to the camara like WTF. He and Sacha makes the t.v experience painful to watch.
CNN London is going downhill everyday. CNN Today Asia and WNA is much more enjoyable to watch. Their output is very good. The interaction and atmosphere is calmer and friendly. One of the problems with CNN is their schedule and anchors availibility.

I think BBC World was better when it just used to have The World Today in it's schedule (back in the late 90's). All these World News Today's just seem to interupt the channel flow. Like Rob says it shouldn't be region specific as this doesn't work on a global channel. I don't understand why BBC World News America isn't just broadcast on BBC America? Ok maybe it has something to do with audience reach and the availability of BBC America in the U.S? I think there used to be 3 The World Today's on BBC World's weekday schedule but it's as if we are heading for every hour to be branded at someone else. Asia Business Report is only broadcast in that region so why is BBC World News America seen as a global needed broadcast?


Yep, have to agree with you David. The way the channel is going, they're going to end up like the American channels where every hour is branded as a different programme. That really irritates me with CNN and FOX News. For instance, Business International on CNN is a misleading title. It's basically an hour of world news with a few more trips to the LSE. It's blatently obvious that BBC World is just trying to rip-off CNN with its World News Europe/Asia, Your World Today, but for me, that's a big turn-off. There was nothing wrong with BBC World but they've tinkered with its format for the sake of it. It was refreshing to be able to go to a channel for a standard, balanced, non-branded world news bulletin. Sadly, that's more difficult now...


I don't want to make allegations but some of the same people here use to say BBC WORLD don't do hour long programs and regional programs. All i see is when you are doing business you have to take everything into consideration and timing is the key. We here don't know the inner runnings of BBC WORLD so we can speculate and guess what is their next move. This might just be their next strategic move. As a business operation you have to grow and expand. Getting in the US and more importanlty offering news on a regional basis separates you from the AL Jazeeras of the world. Do you ever see multinational companies advertising in Al Jazerra? Non..... BBC WORLD can showcase it offerings to madison Avenvue in the US. Yesterday and this morning most of the advertisers and commercials on BBC America were blue chip companies and tourism ads from overseas not america companies. Those companies want to get exposure in the US and BBC WORLD wants it product to be seen by the big corps to expand it product. Having access to the US market is a advertiser dream. And associating youself with the BBC brand is valuable. As a business you have to open new ways. However you see it, everything nowaday has to do with money. It is a win win situation from a business prespective.

Thats really cool. I'll set it to record for sure!

Check out this link to see the BBC World News America logo. Like WNT's but with black- I like it! Very Happy
http://bbcworld.com/Pages/Programme.aspx?id=131[/q

This morning on BBC AMERICA i saw the promo for the program. It only feature Matt Frei. And it said join Matt Frei every weeknight. Katty is now a main correspondent (matt's old job), so she might be a feature reporter.

How will the programs work on News 24? It is commercial so how will n24 manage when there is a break?

If you check the BBC WORLD website your will see Matt in the newsroom standing in front of the new logo. It unsual for BBC WORLD not to be promoting their new show. Normally they will start atleast 10 days before the program starts. Maybe they will start at 05:00 GMT wed. Or they might have started on the American feed of BBC WORLD. Everything now is regionilzed.
