BBC News Strap - Font Request

Can anyone please help me with finding out what the BBC News Strap Font is.

Thank You

It's a variant of Helvetica called Swiss. Arial is a close (but by no means perfect) match.

Do you know where I can get it?

If anyone can make that statement not sound like "Air is a variant of oxygen, hydrogen and other compound gasses", you may be able to claim £5.

(keep away from that site's homepage though, it looks like it's been hacked)

They use Swiss on N24/World/Nationals. Most regions are still in the Gill Sans phase.
