The clock is also 12 hours instead of 24 hours.

Would that be for the US audience? Don't Americans see a 24 hour clock format as for military purposes only?


They do I think (hence my comment !) I've never seen 24 hr notation used in any public place in North America ?

The original News 24 on-screen clock was in 12-hour format. There were so many complaints it was switched pretty quickly to 24-hour...

Correct, they don't use the 24 hour clock outside of the military. In fact, it's often referred to as "military time".

I was watching the drama 'The Bodyguard' last night. It's got a few instances of the BBC News Channel being viewed on screens. They use real BBC NC presenters and sets, and the graphics are the same, the only difference
is the ticker is in lower case (and looks a lot better for it I think ?)


Simon McCoy was presenting an overnight shift too. Pulling his weight.

BBC News are very fond of their moving graphics when introducing a story on the national bulletins: either on the catwalk or on the screen between the presenter and a correspondent.

However, I do wish they would keep these up to date. This one this evening during the Six clearly showed a £5 note and £10 note design that have both been removed from circulation quite some time ago.

This sort of error looks sloppy, to say the least.

I would highly suggest not watching Homes Under the Hammer then if you don’t like outdated graphics of old notes…

Talking of keeping things up to date, it looks like the countdowns are about to get another update soon.

Nice to see weather presenters being included. And Martine finally making an appearance is good, she's my favourite NC presenter alongside Simon McCoy.

Must be why they've been showing the filler all day. Wonder when they will debut?

I do wish they’d get rid of the cheap Outer Glow effect on the countdown numbers.

No sign of Reith on the countdown numbers yet then.

Yeah, why wasn't that title sequence updated? If they're keeping it the same to hide repeats, well, the fact Lucy Alexander has now left scuppers that.

The Homes under the Hammer titles are dire, I expect they were created when the show was just expected to be a one series wonder, yet another daytime show about buying and selling stuff. Of course then it became a long running monster of a show.
