I saw it too, but it wouldn't be like that in 2012, as NEWS 24 goes grey soon.

Did anyone see the countdown just before the 18.00 bulletin this evening Friday? The mix of music used was totally different and I thought how strange - they've changed it again already, but oh it doesn't work with the other beds. But it hasn't changed. Was there a reason for this one off difference. I did notice that Joanna Gosling linked from the weather to the countdown, but I didn't hear what she said, only managed to turn up the volume as the countdown kicked in at 25 secs. Did anyone else here see this?

They play viewers remixes at 6pm on Fridays.


Anyone identify this weeks one?

Did anyone just see the latest countdown (11am): An entire minute! Even heart the beginning drum beat!

Gosh. I love the new countdown mix. I feel the studio needs tweaking. Its a fantastic set, but it just needs some refreshing changes. Like, the pod they never use.. they could use that area again for something, even though it is in the middle of a walk way.

I think a maroon perspex thing would be rather cool.

Natasha Kaplinsky has just appeared on News 24 alongside Matthew Amroliwala - is this the first time she's presented on the channel?

Yes it is. The only time she's presented from the studio before was when she and Dermot presented Breakfast from there in August 2004 when TC7 was flooded.

good to see the presenters from bbc1 being used on n24 - gives good value for money imho and breaks down the 'exclusitivity' between the two channels
