BBC World News from New Broadcasting House

Yes. Supposedly where the 21.00 hour of the news channel will come from as well.

I found the parameters for HD BBC World News its at 127 degrees West, it has four audio tracks and encrypted in PowerVu

bring it on astra!

They are clearly taken a commercial decision to offer as an exclusive channel to providers if that's the case we can forget seeing it in Europe unless the likes of Telenor, Digiturk change their minds and ask the Beeb for it. But the channel as it is, is now full HD folks.

Is this kind of earthquake cam work a frequent occurrence on BBC World News now?



Is this done to make the programme seem more urgent? Makes me feel sea sick.

Only for WHYS, as far as I've seen.

I know Steadicams (and their operators) aren't cheap, but those hand-held shots just look rubbish.

These earthquake-like camera shots really looked terrible. It's like the camera is carried into the presenter. Just doesn't make sense.

May I ask if these cameras have an autocue on it? I doubt it has.

AFAIK, That cam work has never been done on other World News programmes.

You don't need a Steadicam to do that kind of presentation - you just need someone who can do handheld properly...

There may be a reason for that...

Doesn't one of the CNN programmes use that horrible technique too? Looks rubbish there so I'm not sure why BBC World are copying :S

IMHO, that sort of cam work should be reserved for out-in-the-field reporting. It seems very out of place inside a studio. If they have steady-cams, why not use it?

I'm pretty sure The Situation Room on CNN uses it quite a bit. Also featured quite heavily during their election coverage.


...except it was actually quite steady.
