I was recently referred to here by bbcworld2003, so if someone else has asked this question before, please don't balk if you've heard the following before:
Did any of you viewers outside of Britain or watching via the Internet notice that |B|B|C|WORLD| seems to have stopped using endcaps for its half-hour newscasts at the top of every hour? Or are they still using them??

I'll take this post as being at face value and suggest that it has been noticed and commented on several times earlier in this thread, which you may (in spite of its length) wish to read at your leisure.
Indeed, I must admit that the new format is gradually growing on me, but the main thing that lets it down is its execution. I understand now that N9 only now has a break after the weather, and the preceding news bulletin no longer has any breaks. For those of you who are still a little confused about how it works, it seems that there are several opt out points for regions around the world, and if they are sold, then there is a break in that region. But, that no longer means a rest for N9. I've noticed that the first is usually during the business news, when the presenter will pause before either:
a) BBC World Presentation cuts in with a short sting
or
b) the business presenter continues with the markets round-up.
After that segment, there is a sting played out by N9 (so seen by all) which leads into the news presenter recapping the headlines. There is usually another opt out point just before the sport. It starts with a coming up sequence, and then either:
a) BBC World Pres cuts in with a sting
or
b) N9 plays a stab and continues with news.
Then there's an N9 sting (again, seen by all) before leading into the sports news. Once that's done, the news presenter plugs the website, tells viewers what's coming up next, and hands directly to the weather. After the weather, there's an international break, followed by a news summary, another break and eventually the scheduled programme.
It's rather complicated, so I hope that helps everyone's understanding. I'm surprised it's working so well given the complexity of the bulletins now, and there's a huge possibility of errors. The only thing that now makes it look messy is Pres opting out too late or cutting in too early, and cutting half of the stings off. If they sorted that out, it'd work a treat.
It is complicated. And not been helped by the move of BBC Broadcast to a new centre where the technology is anything but robust.
It is helping with BBC World's finance situation though.
UK Fans of he new World set should get a good look on domestic outlets over the weekend
That's great news that BBC World's financial situation is getting better, but is it just me but do BBC World use older cameras, they seem to be a lot of lines on the main presenter shot, it's very noticable on a plasma, and I take it the News 24 set is currently offline for maintaintance?

I was watching Click Online a couple of hours ago then the news came on and noticed that Adrian Was sitting at the National Set. Why is this??
Perhaps if you go back to In the News, you'd find out why!
Is it becasue Breakfast was using World?? is breakfast going to use get a new set?? and is Breakfast going to use the World set until they have finished building a new one??
What background image were they using in the National Set?

They were using camera shots off the World Newsroom as they did when they were making the new set. But the news presenter is sitting on the other side of the desk.
