Thanks in advance!

BBC News Virtual Studio

This edition of the France 3 '19/20' news program is in a virtual studio due to union strikes, the way they try to line up the presenter to blend into the shot (but not quite getting the angles right) is reminiscent of the opening and closing shot of the 1993-1999 look where getting it wrong meant the studio looked larger or smaller than intended.

Starts at 16:02, note the 'floating' papers on the desk

Some of BBC News's presentation sure looks familiar to me...

COVID-19 has given me a bit of time back, so I was looking through a mock I did back in 2017 for France 2 (https://tvforum.uk/thegallery/france-2-jt-20-heures-42976) in a spare afternoon, two years before the Beeb came out with their Reith package.

Coincidental or inspiration? I'd say the former, but seeing as BBC News's headline presentation was nothing like what they have now, who knows? Very Happy

BBC News nostalgia, including BBC World

I had no idea the 1993 logo was stylised like this in 1992

International News Presentation: Past and Present

Richard posted:
I’ve noticed something interesting on the ARD-alpha channel “Die Tagesschau vor 20 Jahren” or “The News from 20 Years Ago”. It’s on at 23:45 every night and seems to be a full (15 minute) bulletin including weather from the same day exactly 20 years ago.

Last night’s programme featured a young(er) Angela Merkel and exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar and between the Dollar and the Deutsche Mark. At this point the Euro existed as a currency but notes and coins had not yet been released. National currencies were technically denomination of the Euro and were fixed against it (and, obviously, each other). At this point, the Euro was worth less than the Dollar - a situation which later reversed. In the parts I watched last night, the newsreader appeared to be using printed scripts rather than an autocue.

EDIT: This seems to have been going on for years, starting around the 20th anniversary of the falling of the Berlin Wall.

I've never seen that before, that's really unprofessional by the staff in the Newsroom.


I think after a lifetime of suffering and never witnessing England win a World Cup penalty shootout, I think the men and women who work professionally the whole time and got the short straw having to take their shifts that night were more than entitled to take their few minutes out and watch their country and celebrate. These lot are professionals second, and human beings first.

Life is too short, and true emotions of joy don't come often. Enjoy it.

Newsroom rampage going on during Outside Source... England wins the penalty shootout against Colombia and the whole newsroom is in applaud, Ros Atkins has to drop a report mid-way and update the viewers on the World Cup. Rolling Eyes

How unprofessional.

France 2 JT ('20 Heures' News) TAKE 2

So France 2 had a redesign. Not consolidating the new France Télévisions corporate font though is still a horribly missed opportunity, and the headline straps still provoke facepalms.

The French do simplicity and minimalism best, so it's time to restore the graphics to the old glorious (2014) look.

Again, I've been real busy with work, but here's what I've cooked up in a couple of hours
