I don't know what's going on on N24 tonight (from World newsroom), but the dog and ticker have just permanently stayed on screen since about 2am, through all trailers, titles, weather etc.

But another thing is that underneath these, another set of graphics underneath which can be seen animating round (dog + black bit).

Before this started happening, this World ticker was being used (smaller writing on black bit), but now it's the N24 one, so had somebody in the N24 gallery turned this on?

I think it is, because when the 4.30 sting finished, a tower could be seen animating on (this would be the N24 one because World are not in at this point, would it not?), so I presume that the people/person(?) in the World gallery are doing things normally, and producing the N24 graphics for N24, but these permanent ones are staying on all the time.

And at one point the tower animated off, revealing another N24 tower Confused

Does that make sense?

EDIT: And at 4.56, they're finally off! lol


I don't know what was going on, but I can tell you that BBC World would be taking the news summary at 0430. About two years ago, BBC World started doing bottom of the hour summaries. That's why the overnights started using the generic sting at **30 instead of the N24 branded sting - it's going out on BBC World.

I also noticed they, World Newsroom, were using some incredibly inventive camera work, zooms etc. Looked very nice and just a pitty they couldn't do it some more.

I noticed the dog being stuck on during the headlines and trailers etc.

Has the overnights being coming from World all week or just last night?

Well that will have been the N24 overnight team in the World gallery, not the World directors.

If BBC News overnight comes from Worlds newsroom, why can BBC World not have the proper tower instead of the static one? and News 24 have a static one?

Becasue News 24 has a clock on its tower, where as world do not, News 24 need there towe to move.

True, I didnt think of that, although don't they have a BBC News tower without clock? surely they can last 4 hours without a clock on screen.

So you are saying that they should replace a moving tower which containes information, with a moving one that does not, replacing the one that containes the information with a static image. That seems a bit stupid to me. What can you possible gain from a moving World tower that you can not from a static one? Whereas News 24 have useful information, which they would be replacing with irrelavant info. Besides the average BBC World viewer won't notice much of a difference.

The two towers are quite noticablly different... and the time is hardly 'information'! the viewer can easily look at a clock around them.. its not that hard!

you clearly are. The clock is considerably more important as
1 - it's on the UK channel and
2 - the tower doesn't need to animate for World.

Why do you want to deny everyone clocks anyhow? Is it so they can't give witness statements when you murder their pets?

Out of interest, have Chris and Rebecca Lowe ever worked on the same shift together?
