It's a mistake. The producer typed the code 3 to make the map spin from the Middle East, in the wrong box and thus got the World Today Titles

The end of the title sequence of the 13 GMT bulletin said "THE WORLD TODAY" instead of "BBC NEWS". What does that suppose to mean or is it just a mistake?

(A similar thing happened to me when I went to get coffee out of the machine and ended up with hot choc!)
Meanwhile I did notice that after the countdown at 15hrs GMT there was actually a decent smooth fade into the summary titles....
Now I know that might sound very unsurprising for anyone that doesn't get to see the channel, but the normal is a hard cut from one to the other.. music also cuts at the same time.
It's not uncommon for the end of the countdown to be cut or the start of the bulletin to be clipped and I assume that has something to do with opts... it does seem very bizarre when you miss the first couple of words on a bulletin because the logo is still up.
As I write I also noticed a nice smooth fade at the end of the break (dynamic junction) which is also rare.. once again it's quite common to see that just cutting out.. which looks so bad and "un-BBC"!
So Marcus.. can you tell is, is this down to the person on duty.. ie whether they fade smoothly or just chop?

Some signing-offs are really odd... Do you know which users opt out before the newsreader reminds us about the BBCNews' website? I really don't understand why should they opt out just 10 seconds before the bulletin's end...

WLIW, CBC, BBC America all opt out at 26'00. The presenter then throws to the weather at 26.15

yes isn't it, i always thought they chose which continent to spin from using a dance but aparently it's done by typing a number into a box. What will those clever people at the beeb think of next? Maybe filming the presenters with a camera?
A night of Newsnight Review to the first smartarse who dares mention that the cameras at news 24 do not usefilm...

The dance method was used for a while.
The presenter had to do a turn with the autoque operator depending on where the map was to spin from. It used to take place during the dynamic junction up to the top of the hour
If I recall correctly it was Waltz for UK, Foxtrot for Europe, Charleston for the Americas, Jitterbug for Asia, Tango for Middle East and tap for Australia.
The idea was abandoned when the Tsunami hit as Nik Gowing couldn't Jitterbug to save his life. That's when the number system came in.
Lyse was great at the Tango though. Loved the rose in the teeth.
