This is one thing that irritates me on the BBC News at 1, 6 & 10 when they say "now on BBC One it's time for the news where you live" and it ends, no reference is made to the news channel viewers. I know I'm just being petty.

Perhaps, but the point is that the link was made with BBC World News channel viewers in mind, a program came out that is similcast elsewhere and no adjustments were made for the similcast.

"...thats it from me, Sportsday is next on BBC News, and for viewers on BBC One its time to go to our news teams where you are."
Nice, simple... they dont need to say "over on" or "here on", it shouldn't make the audience of either channel feel like they are second fiddle. Also this way it advertises what is up next on both channels... problem solved.
There is no need for a Bulletin to indicate a preference to which of the two channels it is on, its on both, and it should be presented as such.
...and my pet hate... They should not, under ANY circumstances be referring to the channel as "the BBC News Channel" or "the news channel".
To avoid mistakes such as the one on BBC World News, they should just have an on screen graphic advertising the programme and if its not available to viewers in the UK, they should either make it available on the iPlayer and change the graphic accordingly, or... just don't announce it. I think this was a mistake though as It never happens on WNT.
If they made the cut to the regions pretty quick then the presenter could then say '..and on the News Channel its time for Sportsday'

Exactly so...
The red mist descends during the Headline opt when the sport presenter says "On Sportsday in 30 minutes on the BBC News channel."
Is it too difficult to say...
"On Sportsday in 30 minutes here on BBC News." or just "On Sportsday in 30 minutes"?
Its pretty pathetic if a television channel can't get its own name right.
"BBC News" for that is the channel's name.

But there has to be some distinction between the bulletins on BBC One and the News Channel. If only there were another, better name that would distinguish them, maybe involving a number?

Whilst i would love to see the aformentioned two-dozen return, we still have "The Problem"...
The idiots that ditched the digits in the first place are still at the BBC, and unrepentent. So unlikely to change the name back, or listen to the opinions of anyone on this forum or in the world.
Strange really considering BBC World News' name change has been a resounding success.

To clearly differentiate the 24 hour rolling news channel from the 1/6/10 you mean?
BBC News Service Television? BBC News LIVE? News.BBC.co.uk/tv?

I think the rule originally was other BBC outlets could refer to it as the BBC News channel - but on the channel itself they only refer to themselves as BBC News.
If they made the cut to the regions pretty quick then the presenter could then say '..and on the News Channel its time for Sportsday'

Except they can't do that - London don't cut to the regions, the regions all cut away from London so need a clean second to get out (and back in again at the end).
