The News Channel followed the "face the audience" debate with contributions from three politicians at Westminster, playing musical chairs with two CSO positions. It's a shame they didn't have the facility to have all three in the same place rather, it looked a bit disjointed really.


also at the TOTH it took two presenters to introduce the programme! Jullian and Joanna came on for about 10 seconds then went over to face the audience - there wasn't even any headlines!

Looks like they've updated the World Cup countdown since it first aired last week with more images of flags and Ben Brown in South Africa. From 14s to the end of the countdown there is pretty much only England flags and fans. Nice touch by the BBC.


It does appear to me that in the last few weeks/month the news channel seems to have come alive again, with up to date and modified countdowns and better use of the Barcos - is it to do with Sky News' relaunch or are they trying to freshen it up?

I'd just like them to do a stood-up TOTH, like on BBC World News. It will show us all that they aren't robots that are wheeled on and off on chairs. A bit of variety in presentation and, with that, a use of Barcos and graphics, as well.

I wholeheartedly agree - it wouldn't hurt to treat us now and again.

Treat you? Goodness me. Do you live in N6? You know there's a whole other world outside the studio? There's plenty of treats to be had out there. I don't think there should be on the news.

Are UK viewers supposed to see titles & on screen graphics refering to BBC WORLD NEWS at the 2130 headlines, as sometimes they appear & sometimes they don't?

I always assumed finger trouble / selecting the right feed.

I know it's a brief simulcast at that point, before someone says so.

This should really go into the World News thread but thought I'd put it here.

BBC World News did a feature about their relaunch back in February and what people thought about it and a behind the scenes about it.

Interesting to note how the 'standing up' catches peoples attention... as a viewer and Nick Gowling says. Smile

We completely understand that you want the presenters to do a dance but really, you don't need to tell us every day. It becomes tiresome.

Problems with the clock? It seems to have disappeared?
