"Here on the News Channel"

"Here on News 24"

I know it's been complained about to death on here...but in BBC branding terms, what difference is there between the two phrases above? Nothing.

If they wanted to stop people from dropping the "BBC" part, they have well and truly failed in that. If they want to succeed in their aim, they would have to ban the words "News Channel" from being uttered by anyone on the channel in question...


It does seem to have backfired on them if they wanted BBC to be mentioned each and every time. It probably got mentioned more with its old name.

I think I hear "on the news channel" more than anything else which could be said on any of the news channels available. At least with News 24 it was a unique brand that could only be said on BBC News 24.


Exactly - and surely there must be people within BBC News thinking the same thing. The question is, though, would they be prepared to backtrack on something as big as a channel name? I reckon they could get away with it without too much stick from the press if they quietly re-introduced the 24. They wouldn't even have to alter the titles, just the box and DOG. I can't see it happening, though.

Oh dear, we're really going to have to give up on the idea of the 24 returning soon...!

That looks surprisingly cramped. I never realised all the cameras were on top of each other. That desk also looks quite small. The whole set really did look so much bigger on screen.

The cameras weren't all on top of each other - they have been moved to be together. BTW it looks nothing like that now - all been ripped out!


Any chance you could take some snaps of the space now Nicky?It would be interested to see how derelict it looks before its renovated for BBC World News.

I'm afraid I'm not allowed to - you are actually supposed to get a special permit to take photos inside BBC buildings. I know these ones have been leaked but I would get into trouble if I did it. Sorry.

Fair enough - it's easier for the person who took these as it's harder to find out who he is. Wheras it is well known who NickyS is.

I hope he reads the comments about the technical standards slipping at weekends, i.e. reports not playing, wrong clips and astons up - also that gash in those BARCO screens between the presenters is getting worse day by day.

Now that NickyS has confirmed the old set has been ripped off, it may not take too long to erect a new set in that space, which means we will be saying goodbye to World's current home soon.
