Mishal Husain was bussy today. Before I went to work, I saw her on BBC1 breakfast, and when I got home she's also presenting on BBC World. Nice to see Lucy afterwards, she rarely presents at that time.
Also there were a lot of screwups regarding sound and camera's.
Could be that a lot of staff and personnel are on holiday?
No there's no holiday here, I have seen worse though, I remember a whole afternoon, when we just could not hear the headline vamp, it made Stephen Cole look stupid.
Good for him. I dislike him since he crossed the picketline, and in a
interview/article espected to be rewarded for it too!
I've Heard that BBC World is avalable on NTL in the republic of ireland! this does sound right as the Republic of ireland is part of Europe but not the UK, if anyone lives there and has NTL, Could You confirm this with me?
AT THE RISK OF FINDING OUT this question was already asked ( please don't condemn):
I'd like to ask something I've recently been thinking about: how does BBC WORLD broadcast around the world, and those around the world able to watch BBC WORLD, in spite of the differences in television broadcast transmission standards (NTSC, PAL, SECAM)??

BTW, does SKY use same??
BBC World (without the capitals) is sent to cable/digital networks in each country. Thats why you get inserts from countries. I'm not sure about all this though.

I'm not a total expert, but:
There are many satellites across the world, each serving a designated region. In Europe BBC World is broadcasted on Hotbird and Astra 1 and Thor Digital Satellites, and on analogue. In Asia and the Middle East, other satellites broadcast variations of BBC World such as BBC World India. It depends on what satellite you're watching to see variations, i.e adverts or programming. The provider on the satellite, (for example Sky Digital on Astra 2) are the people who fade in and out of breakfillers for commercial advertising. I don't know if they are in a foreign language or not; I suspect this wouldn't happen on satellite in Europe, maybe more locally on cable or terrestrial. Most, probably all, are in English on European Satellite. It would be rather pointless to broadcast an advert in French when BBC World is broadcasting to other countries, but if the provider is French why not? I've confused myself now...
Cable systems across the world IIRC from a satellite feed of BBC World as well.
BBC World is uploaded to the satellites with a massive satellite dish (I think)
On Digital Satellite systems there is just the MPEG system. No Secam. So any digital satellite system can receive it.
Analogue Satellite where PAL and SECAM is possible, only the PAL version is available as there is no SECAM version.
BBC World, I doubt, is broadcasted in NTSC as USA doesn't have BBC World, though Canada or Japan?
Sorry for the confusion in this post as it's late and I'm about to fall asleep.

Did you bother to search for it on google? Jeez...

I think the North American feed of BBC World is sent as NTSC from London, but it is possible that the local cable operators here (Canada) convert from PAL to NTSC.
BBC World is available on many cable networks around the world. The case of whether it is freely available differs from each network but most carry the channel in their base package. You should check with your local operator to see if you can receive BBC World.
BBC World is now available in the Republic of Ireland via the cable company NTL. It is not, however, available in Northern Ireland as residents of the UK are not supposed to be able to get the channel.

In Europe all ads are in English, in India they have Indian ads, it's very clever the whole BBC World set up it has to be said
