Why is it the graphic designers still don't know where the data goes in or out of a satellite dish?


I'm getting very bored of hearing this comment lately. It's called creative licence. No, the red streams aren't bouncing off the inside of the dish first, but then the last time I checked, news broadcasters didn't transmit signals through the air using large visible red beams of footage screenshots.

I think we just need to accept the symbology of the overall countdown videos in terms of concepts that are being communicated - a global presence, people in the thick of it, the technology behind the news channel, and other heartwarming concepts, rather than dissecting it as a serious scientific representation of global communications.


To be honest I'm more concerned people haven't commented on the fact that News 24 for as long as I can remember insist on only having 24 hundredths of a second per second.

Shocking.


I recall it refers to the number of video frames rather than an inaccurate time measurement.

Chris Lowe just said that sadly for the last time its father handing to daughter, Rebecca Lowe with the sport. Anyone know why?

Hope he isn't going. I really like his laid back style.

Oooooohhh Chris! Where are your normal mild mannered and diplomatic skills today? That comment was a bit lowe, if you don't mind me saying so! (joke!)

It's quite amazing though, to find a father and child presenting the news together on BBC national television. I mean, what are the chances??

No need to be concerned! The numbers in the countdown represent seconds and frame numbers - not seconds and hundreths of seconds.

Showing seconds/hundreths of seconds would simply be a blur and meaningless. By showing seconds/picture frames it is readable, looks pacey and also in keeping with the idea of the accompanying "delivery of news" video.

Tickers really going up the wall tonight - seems to be trying to use the red, breaking news version for the Alan Johnston story and then goes wrong.

Taken off air during Straight Talk and it's still not back, properly, yet.
