Interesting that GMT (and most of the rest of the BBC World News schedule) will air one hour later from Monday for viewers in North America following the start of Daylight Saving. In previous years didn't GMT move an hour earlier (from a UK perspective) until our start of British Summer Time, so that GMT stayed on air at 7am Eastern? With the BBC Two simulcast, I don't suppose they would want to do that (and they would be in studio B for an hour longer!).

The only big change I can see is that Business Edition moves to 2200 GMT to make way for World News America at 2100 GMT, in order for WNA to stay at 5pm Eastern. North American viewers will see Business Edition at 6pm Eastern instead of 4pm until the end of March - so it'll be on air two hours after the close of the New York Stock Exchange.

The big schedule shunt occurs 31st March, from when viewers in Europe see the afternoon schedule starting with Impact and ending with Focus on Africa an hour later and most viewers outside of Europe and North America see the European Evening schedule an hour earlier.

Indeed. That's normal on World not mentioning these kind of news like that.

22 is hardly a big milestone is it?

I think so. It really isn't strange that World don't do some bits like these.

Since hours there is a mistake with the first top story about the conclave in the ticker. WHY IS THERE NOBODY WHO FIXES THE PROBLEM? Also I noticed that they now only use capital letters in the ticker.

I don't agree - milestones for TV channels are after 10, 25, and 50 years. Mentioning anything in between would be merely self-congratulatory smugness.

It's not an angsty teenager. It's a TV channel.
