the breakfiller seems to be ok today, just realised that on World's countdown, they don't have a BBC WORLD NEWS logo on the left like BBC News channel have on their countdown, any reason to this?

Because it looks better without is a good enough reason!

News24s countdown also has one less beat in the last few seconds which makes Worlds sound better.

One less beat? What are you talking about? The two countdowns are musically identical, apart from the World countdown having the addition of the 'two note World motif' added over the top.

Yes, one less beat. Listen here... http://www.rp-network.com/tvforum/uploads/hmm.mp3

Yes the countdowns sound different a bit because I took the NC one from YT, but News24s does have one less beat. I'm not deaf!

Ha ha you're right! I wonder why they bothered, considering both are edited pretty much the same, and they both have the same stupid problem of numbers that run out before the pips do.

BBC World News is longer to read than BBC News, so perhaps that's why the extra beep is there, that and for the World pips...
