Interesting to see Martine Croxall on TWT and 2 shifts after that.. I actually found her quite good along side others and she has good interaction with the Business and Sports presenters.


Somebody must be off sick...Here in the UK she has been on all night from 01.00 onwards, as usual. That's one long shift she's put in.


Thought so, she done pretty well though. Id like to see her more on BBC World, who was on business during that shift?

For those interested in such things, a few seconds of the 2002-era countdown can often be seen before each bulletin onboard.
Anorakky note: it's actually a News 24 countdown the use, in lieu of a proper VT clock.

As far as I can tell, the programme is taped in N9, has a spot of post-production carried out on it, and is biked over to Paddington.

There are also two variants: one for journeys to Heathrow, and one for journeys from Heathrow. The former gets World Weather, the latter gets a UK summary. Same forecaster for both.

But Rob will still be seen on BBC screens - presenting Extra Time, the HARDtalk sports interview programme on BBC News 24 and BBC World, and presenting for the BBC ONE weekend bulletins and BBC World.


Does it mean hes doing the sports bulletins or news bulletins?

Results from the latest Pan-Asia-Pacific Cross Media Survey [PAX], conducted in 11 markets in Asia-Pacific and India, show BBC World viewership figures hitting an all-time high since the first quarterly PAX data in 2003.

that's not surprising, BBC World in the Asia region is also a lot better then the European version, better local programmes too.

Someone may have posted this before - so apologies if they have - but you can watch all the Putting News First promos online and see the BBC World press adverts as well.

back from a one-week vacation, very much jetlagged
It was great to be able to watch Asia Business Report. Just for that I should head to Asia more often! In Europe we only get two and a half minutes a day of Rico Hizon. In my hotel room I also had the opportunity to watch SkyNews and frankly, however downhill BBCWorld might be going, however severe and profund the downfall may have been since last year, I feel like it still is light years aheadof the former. Apart the fact that SkyNews mainly focuses on domestic stories, from a UK point of view, the reporting pace is incredibly slow, and their guests or interviewees aren't put consistently interesting questions. With all due respect, the professionnalism of SkyNews's reporters is just appalling. They sound like they are desperatly trying to fill their pieces with anything that can make their reports last long enough for them to be screened.
Remains, of course, that it experiences far less technical problems than our beloved but nonetheless to-the-ground - technically speaking - channel.
Anyway now it's back to the narrower business perspective (that's to say the anti-IHT lool)

KLM, Nissan, Konica, Cathay Pacific, and now it's Ocra and Datacraft that sponsor the programme trailer. Who on earth could have foreseen that this tiring thing would be a money maker for the channel?

Starting Monday October 10th, BBC America will air three hours of continuous news from BBC World from 6 am to 9 am ET. Very Happy

Previously, viewers could only watch 30 mins of news at 6, 7, and at 8 am.

Do you mean PM? I mean, I have never watched BBC America but I guess that up to now they have aired the bulletins presented from Washington, which means 6 and 7 PM.
