BBC National News: Presentation

The �64,000 question is who will front the '1' on relaunch date: Sophie, Sian or Kate? Sophie is undoubtably the dominant face of the '1' but her regular hours begin on Tuesdays.

My money would be on Kate (but this belongs in the Rotas thread, mind you).

Wrong thread methinks, sounds more like Presenter/Rota talk

That picture brings back so many memories. The Six O'Clock News with Martyn Lewis and BIG MOIRA in the virtual era.

The report by Nick Higham on Breakfast this morning has revealed the new opening. At the end of the report it shows the end of the new opening titles, with the incredible shot of the newsroom and then the studio shot. Looks great. I'd imagine it'll be on again after 9.

So network news, One, Six and Ten will be in HD on BBC One HD? So do we know if the NC will be in HD?

No, there are no current plans for a BBC News HD Channel.

I think the NC will be HD if it's on BBC One HD output (not the NC itself), specifically overnight.

And presumably the 11am News Channel dip-in slot on BBC Two HD from the 26th.

A few caps from the report:

You could faintly hear the title music in the background, with the endboard of the current titles appearing at around here in the music.

I should have that whole piece by Nik Higham as a video shortly on here...
