It's not that weird as they would have been using C for the 5 o'clock hour. Fiona would have been rehearsing in E at the time. It would have been easier to just get Huw to fill.

Is something wrong with the BBC’s VT playback system? A large number of reports, both on world news and the news channel, are afflicted by flashing red squares across the screen in a checkerboard style, making them impossible to watch. Been happening since yesterday, interestingly enough, with no fix.

I've not had a chance to see but have the countdowns been changed with a World Cup flavour?

Nothing yet. If they do it they'll probably just dig out the 2014 versions since there's been no change to the countdown style since then, unlike between 2006 and 2010, and then between 2010 and 2014.

An aside, but interesting how in the states the term Chyron took precedence (for character generator/OSG), within the BBC 'aston' became the term of choice though slowly being phased out...
I just saw a package on the migrant crisis where they identified James Reynolds, Gavin Lee and Nick Thorpe not in the normal
Chyron
but a box that animates in the safe zone and “floats” from any other onscreen elements.

Likely because Chyron was an American company and got a foothold with their technology. Where as Aston was British.
I’m not sure if Xerox is used widely but people still say I’ll xerox that instead of making a copy. It’s all a generic trademark.

In the BBC, before/as well as Astons you had Rileys, as some of the first electronic capgens the BBC bought (after using Anchor/Anchar - the internally developed system) were made by Riley, and their graphics would be called 'Rileys', not 'Astons'.
In the US the electronic cap gens were made by Chyron. Chyrons weren't popular in the UK in the 80s and 90s (they were more common on mainland Europe) and Astons were preferred. These days you DO see Chyrons (Strictly Come Dancing uses them ISTR) as well as Clarity being used as Aston-replacements, alongside VizRT. (CasparCG hasn't hit the industry much yet)
