So pleased ABC World News is back. After they removed it from iTunes last year, it had become unavailable in the UK. Now all three of the main network broadcasts are available on UK television - I can record NBC Nightly News on CNBC on freesat, ABC News on the BBC and CBS News on Sky News.
Though the studio seems a lot bluer than it did last time I watched. Compared to how fresh the studio felt when it debuted, it feels rather sickly now.
Are all sports programmes presented by women or slightly camp men? Is it to try and calm the testosterone of the beer soaked, tobacco stained consumers of the information for those programmes? Or just to try and use women as an object of sexual desire and increase viewership?

I always laugh out loud when I stop on Sky Sports News; invariably there's an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous babe of a woman with huge warheads seated next to a bald old geezer!

Dare to name drop with the camp men? I really can't think of any off the top of my head in the BBC Sport presentation team.
And I love those shots and panning angles in the BBC Sport Centre!
I do wish they'd stop doing that clumsy handover shot to the sport centre where the news presenter says "and now over to the sports centre" as a disembodied voice over that massive wide shot with the sports presenter sitting gormlessly in the chair,
I think a neater solution would be something like how they used to do it back in the 1999 version of N8 where they'd have the sports presenter on the plasma. Stick the wideshot on the barco wall for the intro and then cut to the MCU.

By the way, just an interesting titbit... if you look over Jane Hill's shoulder in the first image above, you can see the N8 gallery. This is the same gallery as can currently be seen behind the BBC World News presenter. When N8 was redesigned in 2003, the whole set was moved round by 90 degrees.

Just like this.............
They don't really need to "hand over" at all, a sting would be far better and seem less disembodied.

Hmmm, not sure I agree with you there. Just having a sting with no verbal handover would disjoint the flow of the channel. Even when BBC World deployed stings for business and sport segments, they were always followed by a proper handover to the presenter.
