BBC World News: Presentation

I am sorry I missed that. Adnan is quite good with the autocue, so would imagine he would be ok on the news as well. There's been a real mixture of news presenters on World these past few weekends. Only Peter Dobbie and Owen Thomas bring any regularity. Otherwise, it's a hotch-potch of Karin Giannone, Julian Marshall, Linette Tye, Janat Jalil, Tony Campion and even someone called Martine Croxhall on Saturday night. Strange, she bore a remarkably close resemblance to Martine Croxall.

I noted on another thread that a lady (I assume) called Kasia someone also read the news overnight on World. Who is that lady exactly?

BBC WORLD, I meant Kasia has presented on World News/NC overnight over recent weeks, I'm not sure if she did last night.

Kasia Madera is one of the BBC News online presenters, but shes been presenting the BBC One news updates recently, and been on the BBC News Channel some nights. I think shes very good actually.

Sorry for interrupting the rotas but...

BBC World News is due to post a loss of £2 million this year, down from £8m last year. However the world service are putting on hold plans for launching any more channels in addition to arabic and persian

Well that's not bad considering it was losing 16 million just years ago. Due to the Financial crises I expected them to increase its debt and not decrease it. Especially with all the all the changes last year "new studio and better productions value". Hope it can finally start making money cause they wanted to be profitable by 2010.

How come BBC World News doesn't use that map on the screen behind the desk anymore?

Don't they? They certainly do overnight.

No, I was watching the BBC World News program which simulcasts in the UK this morning, and they didn't use it.

They do use that map background occasionally. Not as a permanent backdrop, but usually as a leader into a news story image.

They use it to show where a correspondent is when linking to them, it zooms in on the country...

oh right, my mistake. They do use them, they just never used them yesterday morning.

Today BBC World News in the morning which simulcasts in the uk, was so messy. Reports not playing, too many papers being shuffled and you could hear doors being open and shut in the back.
And they also forgot to put that ad break during the news, so international people also heard the national news.
And on top of it, Martine Dennis kept saying "This morning", they should know, people who live in places like Australia watch it during the afternoon.

Too right MohammedHasanie - I've noticed the same, such a mess on the old World Today slot, Martine always saying 'This morning's headlines' etc, no consistancy with camera shots, sometimes they use boxes to throw between Sally and Martine and sometimes throw shots, I get the feeling different directors do things different ways but it just looks sloppy. I've lost count the amount of late fades on mics on the 30 past and 45 past headlines, really poor indeed. Considering The World Today used to be such a good programme BBC World News (5am-6am) just doesn't cut it.

Can someone who has access to the BBC News Channel and World confirm my suspicion that identical ticker content is now simulcast between midnight and 0100 Uk time before the core 0100 - 0600 TV simulcast? IE the domestic ticker stops at midnight not to be resumed until 0600 on the NC's BBC ONE Breakfast Simulcast.
