It would be best to have them at the same desk. I agree. I wonder why they don't just have the WBR at the same desk, and use the same type of drop-in that they do for Asia Today. It looks quite good.

I am sure that we will see many gradual tweaks and changes over the course of the next few weeks. It's inevitable, given that all will be learning all the way.


Any chance of a capture of the Asia Today drop-in?

Please!

I agree with you, the whole channel looks a mess. I understand all the directors, journalists and presenters tend to agree. The directors are all so stressed out coping with all the backtiming they are all due to have nervous breakdowns any day now


I feel so bad for the staff at World. Marcus, from your sources at the BBC, do have any idea on how they might plan to fix these problems?

My suggestion

Arrow bring back all the stings
Arrow limit each news bulletin to 1 proper commercial break and one opt out for regions where advertising is sold. For ex: ALL regions can see the breakfiller during the proper break and during the opt out, news will carry on but a channel like BBC America can opt out to show ads.
Arrow Better yet, instead of taking many breaks, just have one long one instead using the proper stings that go with doing that


I don't think one long commercial break is enough for an advertisement funded channel; however; three breaks is just too much, specially when they show that dynamic junction that repeats the same information every time they go into a break. My suggestion will be to have two commercial breaks during bbc world news @ :13 and :19 ( presenter will announce the biz and sport highlights), at minute 15 have the headline summary, and go straight to bussiness, then more news, then break, and then after the break, sport, then instead of a final check of the headlines, some more news in between, a weather summary, and then presenter will have a proper closing before :27(presenter will announce the following programme or special event that may happen after the break), then a 3 minute break for advertisement, quick sting past 30, then a summary of the main news( 2 minutes at least) followed by the programme in question, and then have a 5 minute break past :55 for advertisement, monthly highlights,weather update,etc. I will also suggest a little change on the format of BBC world's website, it certainly needs a big update .


Those are great ideas! I agree one commercial break during World News wouldn't be enough and three is too many. But I'd love the old (longer) stings back before and after those breaks. The only reason I can think of why they now use the shorter ones, is to safe time for the ads, but then: the 'old' stings were only two seconds longer. At least I think those should be used before the :30 news summary (which was done until yesterday).

And one other thing BBC World should return to: let the presenters say when a commercial break is coming up, it's slightly chaotic when, after a report, suddenly a sting is player into the ads.

Do you think BBC World/N24 should follow CNN & Sky by having a channel voice (I know World uses an announcer), but what about at the top of news bulletins?

I think it would sound and look a lot more professional and slicker if the presenters didn't have to waste time name-checking etc.

Here's a quick example of how it could sound...

I like the presenters introducing themselves. Anyway I miss that sting at the end of news bulletins...!

P7OUT1E, actually I have a request which I hope you can satisfy: in that file you you made, is the program close of World News. Might it be possible to post or send ONLY that part of the file? I've been looking for it quite a while and tried to make one myself (with video caps), but it just didn't sound well.

Thanks in advance.

Did anyone notice that they don't have the "flying headline" in the opening titles anymore since the relaunch. At the moment they use the recorded titles for TWT and for all the other news the flying headline always says "BBC NEWS".

Oh like on BBC News 24 - I like that because the world starts spinning from the part of the world that the news is breaking from!
