BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

or if you really want to stop us from feeling seasick for an hour and a half......

Or I purposely missed out the specific bias being implied to mention others which would also use the colour red, to point out the silliness of that thinking.

THREAD: Everybody has seen some of the @BBCNews countdown at some point, but has anybody ever seen the entire thing?

To celebrate 65 years of BBC TV news, we thought it was time to finally release the definitive version… the FULL 90 seconds #bbcnewscountdown #bbctvnews65 (1/5) pic.twitter.com/JuCjV2qBij

Could this be a hint that the new one is on the way?

Not sure why they're saying that they are "finally releasing the definitive version". Recent countdowns have been posted in full on Vimeo by the person who edited them.

Dosent beat the 1999 countdown that and the bbc world one at the time were genius.

I loved the smooth transition between BBC World's 10 second countdown and ident, and loved the 90 sec original BBC News 24 one - entirely graphic in nature, and a palette cleanser before the next set of stories and presenters/reporters.

Do you have that Vimeo or send it in a PM? Thanks.

This countdown only gets good from 45th second when the violins kick in. Quite bland before that.

It would make sense, since the countdown clock will probably be Reithed.

They posted some more:

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL. There’s not just one version of the countdown – often there’s at least two in rotation. Here’s one alternative cut #bbcnewscountdown #bbctvnews65 (2/5) pic.twitter.com/iKtdqlLghV

It doesn’t stop there - did you know that some of the @bbcworldservice channels have their own countdowns? Here’s a snapshot of @BBCArabic’s, complete with a remixed version of the @BBCNews theme tune #bbcnewscountdown #bbctvnews65 (3/5) pic.twitter.com/VVS6hQYuzW

What a shame Persian has lost its own remix.

Does the BBC ever share their LiveU, WMT and maybe Dejero receiver addresses with outside organizations going live. Last night / early morning U.K. there was an extremely shaky interview with WSB 2 the ABC Atlanta station (don’t know why they didn’t do CBS - suppose they were busy with news on a sister station) with their sports director discussing the 15 year old Coco Gauff who had lost a match and was eliminated at Wimbledon. The whole interview was quite amateurish with the sports director holding the camera in selfie mode while in studio. Now most stations in the US have some sort of bonded news gathering kit and as I understand it it’s not necessarily tied to a specific destination. Could the BBC give out these destination ports to make interviews with news partners look much more professional. It’s one thing if it’s on the scene of breaking news but in studio having low quality it’s a different story.

What would stop them from doing this?
