Hi,
Can anybody tell me what the font is called on the BBC News 24 current name astons?
Is it Arial?

Also if anybody knows the font on the ticker, both the 'HEADLINES' or 'BREAKING' section and the actual scrolling text.

Thanks in Advance

It's called News 24 Sans and was specially designed for them, and so is unavailable.

I thought the headline version was News 24 Sans Bold.
