BBC News 24: Presentation discussion

More constructive use of the ticker today, for the most part displaying red 'Breaking' and white 'Markets' with the various values to cover the main news of the day, useful on screen info.

Good Combination this afternoon covering the Hain resignation ...

Brown and Maitlis

with effective use of back-up Political correspondents.

News 24's just cut to Huw in N6 for an interview. The Ten backdrop is on, so does that mean they're recording the interview for the Ten?

EDIT - BBC News Exclusive is now on screen. The interview's with Nick Leeson by the way.

Yes I imagine that the interview is being recording for use on the Ten (good exclusive)

Just noticed what's happened to Simon Mayo's foot during the Oscar nominations programme...

Ooops!

That'll be fun to do in a few months time.

True. The move will mean recorded interviews are going to have to come from a seperate studio to the actual bulletin, which is going to look a bit messy.

Unless they setup a dedicated interview studio, or do all interviews from the Newsroom stairs, then at least they will be consistent across all bulletins...

How often do they actually pre-record an interview? I haven't noticed it before.

That's the first time I've seen them do it. Not sure why it was done, but it did look a little strange.

Anyone else heard the swear word used on World Busniess Report (05:30GMT Edition) on Friday? Seems they were having a few problems in Davos! Also later into Declan's interview he refers to BBC World twice rather than BBC News but that's easily done of course. Also you can hear the computer reboot complete with Windows start up sound! Still it was an early start for the crew. All available to view (& hear) in full on BBC iPlayer, just select WBR Friday 25/01/08 and the swear word is heard at 01.44 into the program.

That was a very loud s-bomb. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/b008wc8n.shtml - the Windows sound is at about 5:00.
