It was only a matter of time, wasn't it? I'm sure someone will have captured that...recorded weather with Dan Corbett, into spinning globe for 50 secs, into full length countdown sequence.
What was the spinning BBC globe used before the countdown?
It was the usual globe with circling BBC News ribbons and the orangey-things. The animation that appears in between the major stories at the top of the hour and sometimes on the screens in the News 24 studio
The BBC is NOT a state broadcaster (it's a common misconception), to say so would suggest that direct control lies in the hands of government.
Wikipedea is seen as a reliable source of information, take a look here and you'll see that nowhere are the words "state broadcaster" found together, neither will you find them if you do a search of the BBC's own website.
Yes, and in my postman pat book all postmen drive a red van and post arrives in the morning. Just because its not in your simple sources, does not make it untrue....and the bbc are hardly going to use
THAT

The EU view the BBC as a state broadcaster, and it is referred to often as such by quality newspapers of all persuasions.
Seriously, I'm telling you, the BBC is not a state broadcaster.
If you think that it is, then you are entitled to your own opinion, but it's wrong I'm afraid.
Other countries sometimes DO refer to the BBC as a state broadcaster, but they are simply incorrect.
As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing more to say on the matter...
Ask Tony Blair if he thinks it is a state broadcaster

Aston is absolutely correct.
There is a massive difference between a ''public service'' broadcaster and a ''state'' broadcaster.

Well from what I saw Midlands Today saw Patrick Burns and an empty newsroom at 6:25, We were then treated to the full exit bed, with animation.

Anyway Monday is rapidly drawing to a close and I for one shall be interested to see if management does make some concessions in the following days.
Why not use the generic BBC NEWS Dog used on Weekend 24?
BBC News has coped very well so far, there have not been many cockups and I think the one presenter layout is good and should be used more in the daytimes on N24.
