What's wrong with the usual 'Latest Pictures'?

Another graphics error at the 1730 headines. Seems the new red background forgot to appear.

Or even perhaps "Mobile Footage" would have been suitable and by the looks of it would have fitted on two lines.

There was a BBC World dog on earlier today. The ticker has had a good strop today I think!

It seems to happen quite alot during the buisness segements. It seems they couldn't get the right image next to the strap and it goes downhill from there -- eventually ending up with the BBC World ticker...

Not to mention, in addition to that, the ticker going World wide and forget to be red...but the same strap for the *30 and *45 headlines saying:

Olympic Log Row

Missing an 'O', perhaps?

Is there any point in having these captions over the headlines? They only ever seem to be interesting when there is a typo.

Typo's are only natural. Someone has to type the stuff in and they will occasionally make mistakes. As long as the intended message is clear, and it's rectified as soon as it's noticed (preferably before broadcast), it shouldn't matter too much.

Broadcasting the BBC World ticker on News 24 on the other hand... Wasn't the old system replaced because it wasn't reliable enough? It seems to have been in a right state today! No wonder we got more than the usual share of typos.

How do you differentiate between New 24's and World's ticker? Is it that the headlines are more 'international'?

Does the breaking news strap now have a shimmer? I noticed it for the first time yesterday during the building collapse story. Is it new?

Yeah, breaking new strap now shimmers and the headlines done have the 'swipe' - they just animate on and off.
