BBC News Channel: Presentation

Hmm yes, its a weird interview orgy... quite indepth! Peter Dobbie, Caroline Hawley, Brian Hanrahan, and someone called Martin Praut (sp?!)

Interview orgy!? Hah!

Now that should be an official term...

BBC and Sky both live from Johannesburg but what's strange?

its the same person!!??!! on totally different backdrops...

No. Both say their live however the BBC is in the daylight, with Sky being at night.

I would guess one is a CSO and they've just got the wrong time of day!

I think the issue is that in one shot it's daylight, and the other it's night. Not the same person.

oops a daisy...

aanyway......which one is right? Sky or BBC?

Well, Its 7pm there so either could be right really.

Well they fluffed up the VT on the headlines this hour... again.

Also, what the heck is wrong with the locked off corner camera that they use at the TOH (the shot that opts from the titles into the studio) when it zooms in, it seems to judder all over the place - anyone else noticed this?

Yea, it was shaking a lot at the start of the national bulletin. I thought it was the TV signal at first, but the ticker and clock were fine, but yea, the zoom was juddering in and out.

Further mistakes.

7pm in June there would be like 7pm in December here, so it's BBC that's in error.

It would have been 6pm because they have no daylight savings.

EDIT: Johannesburg's sunset was at 5:26 PM in direction 296° according to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=111

Assuming in the southern hemisphere it doesn't go pitch black after sunset, I'd say Sky was wrong. Well, actually, I don't have a clue.
