It's just a temporary thing for the Election Campaign, as Declan will be roving for a few weeks.

Sally is temporarily taking his place at the Exchange, and Manisha is taking Sally's place on TWT etc, etc.......

Maybe they will rotate every week.

David Eades presented either on Friday or Saturday evening last week. Can't really remember specifically which day it was. But, def an evening shift.

Just noticed that the weather ident has returned to BBC World today. Much better! It felt so disjointed with the presenter handing over to the weather forecaster, who was actually pre-recorded. It's better with the ident in between. Its reappearance makes it the channel's oldest presentation device currently in use. I believe it was introduced in April 2000 when the major relaunch took place.


Unfortunately it must have been a mistake. They keep handing over to the weather forcast without titles.

I first saw it at 19.25, then they weren't used at 20.25. They were used again at 21.25, and then the next time I watched -- at 09.25 this morning -- they appeared again.

Don't know what's going on! I much prefer the ident being used.

I personally prefer Declan Curry as a special reporter as opposed to business presenter. What happened to Sarah Coburn; I thought she was the relief business presenter for Declan?

I suppose that today's live coverage from Rome was simulcast... If so they put the "overnight" dog to cover the News24's one.

Woudnt think so.. just after the top of the hour it returned and so did astons and ticker.. I also noticed it on Asia Today not on coverage with Rome. (and a mouse just ran past my foot arghhhh)

I thought N24 and World could now run each other's TOGs remotely thus preventing the need for overlapping dogs. The stutter on the World system would be evidence of this.

BTW Have they fixed the problem with TWT where WBR didn't use WBR astons on N24 yet?
