I've noticed News24 has got caught up in the World Cup Fever, with goal updates in last night's friendly and even Theo Walcott's arrival onto the pitch in a 'B' international getting the Breaking News treatment.

Although I think it is a good idea to keep people who may be interested informed, e.g. those in public places unable to see the match, surely they should make a better splash for this type of "Breaking News". A simple version keeping in check with N24 presentation could be the animated globe in the Breaking News sting being replaced by a football, perhaps accompanied by a crowd cheer. And instead of "Breaking News" the graphic could read "World Cup Latest" etc. This would allow viewers who are interested to find out what is happening, while those of no interest in football would not be confused thinking it is a serious news story. Any thoughts?


I can see that working well on screen...

I can see it never making it that far!

I suppose at least that rhymes. Remember a few years ago when there was a spate of people talking about 'Crap 24'. Now that was really clever and inspired.

No, but as I say people who want to know whats going on may be stuck in offices, service stations, airports etc where N24 is always on and they have no choice. Remember, some games kick off as early as 2pm.

Pretty much all the time, as he has a slot on Five Live too. The BBC have grown to like him on N24.

Any truth to the "Jon Snow is likely to live C4 and join BBC" rumour?

No idea. Much more importantly we now know he has a regimen of Baby wipes and Badedas.

For those into the countdown, it's approaching 18:00 on Friday, so the viewer's countdown mix will be played at the TOTH. It was featured in the 17:30 'Coming Up' trail.
