Does this mean that GMT is back on BBC Two?


No - GMT will air only on BBC World News from 11:00 to 12:30 GMT (12:00 to 13:30 London time).

I just learned that today's edition of Middle East Business Report is to be the last ever.

Sad.

When did it begin? Wasn't Ben Thompson the first presenter back in the day?

No, it dates back to at least 2003. The first presenter was Nima Abu-Wardeh if I recally correctly.

Indeed. Nima is still the main presenter. Ben Thompson and Katy Watson were reporters on the programme and occasional presenters when Nima was away.

Does clocks going forward at 1am for the BST commencement means that Newsday comes on only at 11pm and 12am, while 1am (which becomes 2am) is broadcast as Mike Embley's common slot?

Sorry but the clocks went forward an hour 24 hours ago on Sunday morning.

Did anyone catch Business Live? I only saw the early morning shift with Naga and they used the usual daytime background.

Business Live used the new background (as shown in the promos) and also used different opening titles, similar to those of WBR though, but with some new images and different music.

I'm really impressed with the branding and variation of the business news. The different camera shots, lighting and theme tune are very welcome! Can't wait to see it in the UK.

The presentation is mix of one presenter being at the catwalk and the other on the main desk among other things. I also noticed they used mugs with the Business Live design. The bottom of the hour news headlines recap seems to have been eliminated.

Strange music in my opinion.

I like the new aston that flicks through the markets.

However, the London skyline somehow is full daylight with Geeta beforehand and then suddenly turns to sunrise, and then probably after BL it becomes the full daylight again. Rolling Eyes
