Does BBC One always do this?

I thought they only show the BBC News 24 opening?
I saw a video once on YouTube, but had been deleted... ugh.


Stupid bloody announcement too.

Surely, it would be better if they had something along the lines of 'And to take us through the rest of the night on BBC One, BBC News.'

Just seen a full 60 second countdown at 10pm . It had a few seconds before hand without the countdown clock (female reporter talking to camera and then a shot of Wembley) and then a drum beat and into the full countdown

Is the 90" version of the countdown used before every TOTH? Or is it just used when BBC One is joining, and at other times they use the 60" version?

It's just used at 215830 - to help with the opt back to N6 from N9 before the Ten - just incase anything goes wrong!

I expect it is played from the News Channel gallery, allowing BBC World time to get set-up for their 10pm bulletin, and allowing the News Channel to get all their routing back to normal for a clean top of the hour on both BBC One and the News Channel?

Did someone ask for Newswatch if they look at these forums?
the answer is NO.

-------

We asked people for their responses and those were what we read out.
It's not our role to trawl the internet looking for comments - I did
read the points on the Editors Blog, but they all seemed rather too
technical for our audience (likewise TV Forum).

Best wishes,

It seems that the 10 BBC One/channel stuff has been very well thought out. Moving to the World studio at 2130, allowing the 10 some prep time, is clever, yet must be totally seat-of-pants stuff in N9.

Come out of of World News at 2128. Change pres to Channel presenter. Channel pres then does heads for both networks at 2130. World opt out at 2132. Pres carries on, handing to E24. Clever. E24 ends 215830, with World setting up again for news at 2200.

E24 doesn't last for 30 minutes, less than 10 if anything. They also have the business and I think sport in that half hour.
