Well you did nothing to commemorate it, so don't be so rude. In any case, he never said "One year exactly".

On a British Airways longhaul flight this week, and they show a daily episode of BBC World News. It's one of the overnight segments presented by Mike Embley.

Of note, the old countdown is still in use (the famous John Simpson 'duck' on the road to Benghazi). Additionally, the bulletin they showed was precisely 7 days old! I wonder if BA's daily news is only updated weekly??? And furthermore, an interesting strap appears on screen all the way through the bulletin. The standard red BBC World News DOG is in its usual position but gradually fades to white and extends the whole way across the screen throughout the bulletin. It's actually quite nice.

No ticker.

Indeed, I've rather round the countdown amusing for a VOD based service. But it's been like that for quite a while, although usually the news is only ever a day or two out of date, perhaps had issues updating the VOD server on board.

Perhaps. I was on an old Boeing 747, but I think those photos you've posted above are also a Boeing 747.

And I was down the back in Y class. Perhaps F and J get new news and Y gets old news? :0)

A year ago these bulletins were still coming from TVC (and the correct day's bulletin was being shown), three weeks later they'd moved to NBH.

I wonder, due to the sudden death of Komla, did they retire the BBCWN countdown with Komla in it?

I understand the people at BBC News responsible for purchasing the Mosart playout system (what were they on ? ) have left the BBC. Did they get a payoff ? If so I would like my licence money back please.

Will BBC News now be looking to a more reliable system or is the department financially broke from purchasing Mosart ?
I also understand nobody likes using the system as it is inflexible when it comes to running order change which you would think would of been the first question to ask about when buying such an important item. The only people I hear saying it is good are the managers but I guess as so much of our money has been spent they have to. I wonder if they will be next to be shown the door,
I doubt it, not at the BBC.
I would not survive 5 minutes in my job if I made such decisions.

I feel sorry for the presenters who are left high and dry each time there is a problem, and can understand why so many are leaving.
Having seen the mistakes that have been uploaded to You Tube why is it the likes of Sky and CNN do not have the amount of problems that the BBC News output seems to be inflicted with.
