BBC World News - to 14th January 2013

I loved the music, it had that motive that was used for previous mixes of BBC music. Again another part of the set used in a good way, they have done an awesome job with all new shows.

The only BIG error for me is ditching of the double headed newshour with David & Lucy. Seems like now Lucy will do the updates on new shows and World News at 1500 , Geeta is doing that today but she's probably filling in.
I hope I'm wrong.

Has anyone managed to get any video yet please?

This really does look superb!

Am I seeing different caps to everyone else then, because from what I can see it's presented from a shoebox and still has those awful clunky BBC graphics!

A great video produced for what appears to be 'sales.

We were never expecting anything to drastic on the studio front. Just minor tweaks to suit each programme, as we have seen from the screenshots. As for the graphics, they have to tie in with the overall BBC News brand. Again, some astons with the programme name have been implemented.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the changes. They seem to respect the programmes, which each have separate, identifiable brandings. Much better use of the studio: desk, newswall and the new smaller desk area to the right. Well done BBC World News!

oh yeah...


apologies for the quality though.

The Hub is really good. I love how all the shows are different and it doesn't look like an extended version of world news. I like the story selection and not doing a lot of stories because they can but focusing on the important stories. Not going on and packing the show with so many live shots to prove what??

Notice the ad breaks are shorter. Before it went on for too long. Hope it stays like that.

noticed that as well, it seems that some parts of Impact Asia also has short commercials.
I guess most of their breaks had gone to that awful 5min shorts.

Out of interest does anyone in the know.. NickyS and co, know if the back wall still says "BBC News 24"? Did they change/remove it while making the other tweaks that have taken place?

Yes those stories have taken up the breaks. I read somewhere that they hope companies will sponsor those breaks so they will still be getting revenues from that too.

Extra Time shorts is sponsored by Barclays...
I guess it's just a carry-over from the main programme.
