The RSS feed powered ticker gave viewers this very detailed and not vague headline: 'Still Europe's last dictator?' Laughing


Still has some weird unicode errors too (the out of place symbols).

I'm curious are the tickers regionalized (like the coming up graphics) to each feed or one to all?

Glad you've mentioned vague or pointless headlines drifting across on the overnight ticker.
Around 5.20am on Sunday, I glanced up from my feeding my addiction to early morning Solitaire on my laptop, to see scrolling across the screen...
'Yesterday's Football Scores'

I'm curious does the WN ticker appear on the NC or was it a mistake? I thought the NC ticker was more comprehensive and always up during simulcasts.

I've always assumed that on the overnight simulcast on BBC One/News Channel was the BBC World ticker.
Compared to the daytime/evening News Channel ticker, it's different with shorter headlines or reads like it's scrolling web story titles, has no text numbers, and I've only seen the BBCNews.com web address, rather than the 'co.uk/news' one.

Sounds like it's that then.

The ticker does have the UK contact details overnight iirc with rss feed style snippet headlines. I've never seen the website shown as "bbcnews.com" on there. Anything above the ticker will be the same as world, so I usually see the bbc.com there and then seeing .co.uk scroll by in the ticker. Confused

I agree some of those headlines are confusing but this is what happens with so much automation.

They would do better to show the first line of the story, which often summarises well, rather than the headline.

Just spotted this tweet from Lightwell...





I wonder whether this is another cityscape for BBC World News? Did Lightwell do the ones they currently use?

If World News Today feels the need to play one of those OS shorts without voice overs, they shouldn't torture viewers with a Justin Bieber song.
