Something very unusual around 1945 > 2030, I can't sort out what's happened. It looks as if BBC World might have taken News24 for around 40 minutes or so.....

Can anyone elaborate as to what actually has occurred?

Instead of showing "The World" they preferred covering the airplane story with a World/N24 simulcast... I wonder if The World has been aired on BBC4...

I imagine that would have been the case. BBC World obviously wanted to follow the developing story in Miami but couldn't do it themselves due to N9 being used for 'The World'. So, it seems they decided to put out News 24 instead while N9 did 'The World' for BBC4. I wonder exactly how many viewers they had tonight then, without all those people watching it on BBC World?!

I doubt very many viewers. BBC Four does quite poorly on the whole for viewers doesn't it?

I don't know though if World took N24 for the entire time; at the TOTH at 20.00 they covered the Miami story for around 10 mins, then did a good 10 mins of other (UK) news, before going into a summary of the Miami story at around 20:25. Just beforehand, the Breaking News aston even said "Update on latest news next" as if the planned simulcast was about to start, although there was no obvious pause..

Chris and Liz then talked over the pictures before the generic sting was played out at the end; on N24 they did another story straight after this followed by weather

At what time did World resume normal programming, and who was the anchor? I was asleep by 8:30pm UK time, and it was still N24 simulcasting at that point.

It usually gets between 20-40 thousand viewers, roughly comparable to News24 and Sky
