BBC News 24

It really doesn't matter if they pay or not, this is something that could easily be got right with a bit of thinking. Sure, it might go wrong, but for that long? Its a bit sloppy.

Joanna Gosling is looking glam tonight at ther BAFTA film awards.

I'm glad that the clock has moved as it now fits on my screen when I watch N24 (or Breakfast) on analogue or on my portable 4:3 television. However it doesn't look too neat as it just floats in the ticker. I think it should be a solid red block fixed on the end of the DOG.

I think the BBC should have stuck to their guns and kept the clock where it was. The designers, after a few tweaks had come up with a very neat, clean and clear design, the clock just ruins it now. Sorry BBC - stick to your guns, innovate, it will mean upsetting people but thats life!

Well I managed to catch BBC News 24 at around 5pm - 6pm I had it on the TV. It does look quite sloppy the current presentation and the way the programme was set-up.

Basicly relying on the woman at the BAFTA Awards red-carpet (I have forgotten her name and I'd also like to mention she has great presenting skills).

The man in the studio was alright I thought but you could tell he was a little confused and all. I don't blame him with the current situaiton at News 24 (normally he presents much better however).

The background is far too blurred, especially when the woman on the right of the studio was reading the sports. The way the clock animated at 5pm was awful (also no weather forecast or countdown at that time).

So we have a delayed weather for the BBC ONE junction now.

That's a surprise. I'd have expected them to play out Storyfix again. Its not like that hasn't been the usual trick this weekend. Were both News 24 presenters still sitting at the desk up to the weather? Did it then go straight into the news afterwards?

Yes immediate transition from the weather summary chart to 'BBC ONE' bulletin,

I also note that News24 is the leading the transmission, and BBC One is running around 2 seconds behind News 24.

I've never watched any of these simulcasts. How do the is the cut off on BBC One managed? Is it obvious to viewers on News 24 what is going on?

This weekend it is obvious because the background in the studio and the presenter has changed. Normally however the presenter says what is coming up on BBC News 24 within the next hour, News 24 opt back out and BBC One viewers are sent off to the regions, or on the Sunday 10 the weather.

BBC One - Closed and went to local news, BBC One reader Mishal Husain announced Storyfix, This was run until a weather forecast then back to Rolling News at 8pm.

I don't think Storyfix has ever been played out so frequently on News 24 than this weekend. That's the fourth time that I have noticed them playing it. Let's hope they don't play it at 10 - though I guess it will be as yesterday and BBC One's weather will be simulcast on News 24.

Out of interest does anyone know how the news summary in Sunday AM and Politics Show was done. I think it was from their studios, where as in the past I have assumed it was now done from the nationals studio. Am I wrong, do they use the Sunday AM / Politics Show set?
