International News Presentation: Past and Present

I feel like I’m watching a Bang and Olufsen Hi-Fi system. I like it.

Piers Morgan to leave GMB

It’s only Cancel Culture if it’s produced in the Cancelle region of France, otherwise it’s just “sparkling consequences”.

Edit: this is a point as well as a joke

Oh yeah Spann’s house took damage, just seen a photo from his back garden and all the branches and leaves are gone from the trees

RTÉ to Cease Broadcasting on DAB

Also, how many people genuinely care/notice the quality on the poor set they’re probably using in the kitchen? I’m freer with opinions like that now the forum is closing and I want to get them out before the new place opens...

…and finally

I do wish people today would stop thinking that it's the sheer act of *having* ideas that annoys people.

International News Presentation: Past and Present

Weird, it went to tone audio about an hour or two ago and I wondered what was happening. Before it had an actual RUV logo and now it's RUV.is with the extra info top right. Path change?

International News Presentation: Past and Present

Since this forum is closing soon I just wanted to talk about how I've never really given European presentation of news much thought until this year and now I've decided that I love the TF1 news theme, and the TG1 news theme (both pretty iconic in their full-pomposity versions) and I've decided that everyone just looks like they use tacky generic After Effects templates.

90s NOS has a good look and theme too

Have you been in a TV audience?

I have been in an audience for Power Snooker on Sky Sports 2 and me and my mate were the "audience clapping close-up" shot and had to look forward and just grin like an idiot.

Also I was at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island for an NHL game and I am very much in the background on the scoreboard and on the game broadcasts with my baby-blue Penguins jersey. I am looking up taking this photo here: https://imgur.com/a/IQjnhyB

Andrew Neil’s GB News show

People don’t seem to understand that RT have an interest in presenting themselves as centrist and ready to take the piss out of certain topics and offering a place to do that. See if they’d let him do a Putin gag, for example. And the Spiked and Tom Walkers don’t see they’re being used in that regard.

International Weather Coverage

Watched a significant proportion of this yesterday, and the tornadoes on Saturday in Texas as well. There was some surprise that TWC seemed to not care on Saturday at all, but yesterday they seemed to push the boat out.

TORCON of course is a completely made-up parameter, but I think I remember James Spann saying they look at something like 65-70 parameters when deciding that. Edit: I mean STI, which isn't a made-up parameter

Edit: There are still tornado warnings up this morning, been a steady line of storms rolling in. #alwx on twitter (any state weather can be found by #XXwx where XX is the state abbreviation - helpful.

Edit 2: Oh, *watches*, not warnings,
