We've got a BBC World News simulcast at the moment, 'BUSINESS edition'. Not sure if this is what happens usually.


Normally when we join WN at 2130, it's the normal WN and not a program like Business Edition, Sophie Long!

I thought normally the News Channel moved to N8 rather than joining World - don't World have Hard Talk usually in that slot?

They will have left Business Edition up by mistake - it's just how they always do it. Headlines shared with World, they go to a pre-recorded program, and we get the rest of the half hour in N8.

At the risk of being one of those people who uploads boring screencaps to the news channel thread, here is what happened...



The BBC World News simulcast starts at 9.30 with the BBC World News DOG and Business Edition graphic.

1:43 - the Business Edition graphic disappears
1:57 - the BBC World News DOG cuts to the BBC News and clock DOG
3:09 - the ticker finally appears

Stuff like that isn't boring, it's stuff like 'Joanna Gosling on at 7pm!' and a picture of Joanna, who is on quite often at 7pm, that is boring.

Please do add videos of odd bits like that - it might make the thread a bit more interesting..!

Thanks for that - I'm glad it was of interest to other people. I'm actually having the news channel on for most of the day for the Olympics so I might capture a few more oddities.

Yes, BBC World has shown Hard Talk at 21:30 for several years now. It used to always be the New York & London edition of World Business Report in that slot, and Hard Talk used to be shown at 20:30, I seem to recall. But that changed when they dropped the flagship WBR (which, by the way, I miss quite a lot. It used to be quite a fun programme with the likes of Paddy O'Connell, Mishal Husain or John Terrett in NY and Manisha Tank/Jamie Robertson in London).

I'm the same in keeping the News Channel on when I'm not watching anything else - as it gives a good mix of whats going on. Unfortunately I can't leave my capture card in permanently so you're the man for getting stuff like that!

The same here - when I'm by the computer I'll have the News Channel on with my capture card as I also think it's giving a great mix of covering the Olympics and other news, whilst at other times I'll be watching the coverage on the other BBC channels.

Bit of a mess into Sportsday from the News channel at 6:30, did anyone cap it?

Strange beginning to the 9am TOTH! They cut off Breakfast and went to the filler for 2 minutes... and then went to Ben Brown without a countdown!

It's not that strange - they often cut straight to the Studio without a Countdown.
