BBC News 24

Umm. Just seen it to. Seems to be missing the usual trappings, the box and time straps.

Wonder when they'll run the 'programme'? Bit that worried me was the 'we're giving kids the controls'

...would explain the technical problems tonight...

i'm off today so watching n24 - sorry kate wasn't on with simon this morning - as probably still at ~Glast, dreadful ellie cresswell instead

went out over lunch and now emily & jon are on and having some funny banter. good news content too about the floods etc.

did anyone on sunday see the clip of the girl on the heart machine - a man was rubbing her upper inside leg and it just made me cringe

Setanta, apparently.

She is appalling - a voice like a girl at junior school! This morning it is Carrie Gracie - am I right to think that a new little Gracie is on the way?

and it's Ellie Crisell btw

They just used a new effect during a bit with Nick Higham - he and Emily were sat at the desk and there was an overhead shot from the railcam, then they superimposed some maps onto the desk.

Have seen them use that fancy table graphic a few times before, looks good.

Also just caught this on News 24 when they switched to the Sports news, was in the middle of downloading some phots and snapped this.
Someone must have pressed the wrong button!

N6 looks a lot smaller from that angle.

couldn't that background be tidier? It looks a mess - they have the night time / winter evening backgrounds looking really good, but that daytime scene really does look messy!

well N6 certanly looks cleaner (the black marks have gone).But the studio looks tiny there

That's because it is....
