Why don't they just get the BBC World presenter to do BBC World news from 9.30 - 10?

That'd cost more. They're not contracted to do those hours.


Mod Edit: Don't swear, or post one word replies.

Isn't the 2130 sport update quite an important one as their will often be evening football and rugby matches coming to a close. Plus all though we may not all like E24 they have established it in the slot.

Just had a look at the new titles: fantastic. They look much better animated than the stills we'd been seeing previews of. Looking forward to seeing the new look on television now, albeit on the "BBC News Channel" Rolling Eyes

True I suppose, but they're only hanging around the newsroom for half an hour anyway - it surely can't cost that much to pay them to do 30 minutes on a domestic channel.

It's partly asking more of them in terms of knowledge - World presenters have their heads tuned to what World are running, so switching into to 24 mode for half an hour and being across their stories is a big ask.

Jonathan Charles manages OK when he's covered on News 24.

That's not what we're saying, though. Both the eye and myself are suggesting running a half hour a world news as used to be the case every day (then latterly every Sunday morning) at 9.30am.

Is that a shift that you are referring to, rather than 30 minutes.

Yeah for a day not half an hour... Wink

Interesting that the Ten is still going to have rehearsal time- a good move in my book!

I have to say though it's been nice seeing Gavin Estler covering some shifts on News 24. Don't see much of him on there anymore - why's that?

When do BBC World move into N8? I suppose there is quite alot of refurbishment to do, both in the newsroom itself and the presenter part.
