Really!!!
Thanks so much for that
.... Out of interest, how long now is it they have been using the current set, 3 years? without any significant alterations.... looks so cramped!

Bit of a mistake there the 11am headlines, as normal were followed by the titles, followed by Jane saying 'hello there good morning', followed by the titles again.

Agreed. While the set is VERY nice, it's where it is that's the problem.
I know people here that know what they're talking about have always said that it's better to have a rolling news studio either next to, or within, the newsroom where the news that they are breaking comes from. This, I take it, is for two main reasons - one, because of the 'feel' of being in the buzz of the newsroom, and two, to make communications easier.
However I think this is a mistake. News 24 would be so much more interesting to watch if it was presented from a studio such as N6.
They'd have the room and the screens to do much more than they can currently. They could easily put some sort of feed from the newsroom up on the screens, and allow some of the sound from the newsroom to 'leak through' electronically into the News 24 output so it'd sound as if they were there.
As for communications, isn't this all done electronically now anyway? How often does someone physically walk into N8 and give them a piece of paper? Surely news is delivered either on the PCs, via autocue or from the printer behind them.
No, I think they should abandon their corridor and move to a proper studio.

I agree to a point but a N6 setup would be better suited to BBC World IMHO

I'm not so sure about the new look BBC News Online...but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Has there been any mention of it, or integration or synergy between the channel and the site?
yellow.

I remember there was an article a while ago on MediaGuardian saying that both the BBC News website and News 24 astons would be revamped to match the on-screen graphics of the 1, 6 and 10.
I don't really see the striking similarity between the new online look and the 1, 6 and 10, but maybe revamped astons on News 24 are a step closer now.

No not at all - it's been beating Sky News for a long time now - simulcasts excluded. The latest figures (week ending 6 August) shows News 24 has a weekly reach of 5,540,000 (12.7%) while Sky News has a reach of 3,873,000 (8.9%)

Out of interest, do we know if 24 is beating Sky on all platforms, or just Freeview? (I'm still a firm believer in the view that most viewers are lazy and will stick at the first channel they come across - 501 - rather than scroll down to 503).
