I simply cannot believe it.
The one and only LINETTE TYE is now anchoring live on BBC World News. I feel as though I am back in '96.
Welcome back to World, Linette. Amazing.

Basically they wanted to make it look rubbish, stale and boring and go back to 1999 compared to News 24 which had decent upbeat presentation and was much more interesting and felt like a 24hr news operation.

I disagree. The sound, video and lighting in N6 is many times better than in N8, also the camera angles available in N6 are much more attractive, especially with it having a nice flat floor. If the nationals came from N8 then the production quality would plummet, remember how bad the One was when it came from there while N6 was being refurbed.
Yes, having a bustling newsroom behind the presenters gives the impression that you are connected to the heart of the news operation, but if they wanted people to feel they were in the middle of a busy office, they could have fed live (or delayed) pictures from there to the screens in N6. There has been a concious decision not to do this. Likewise with sound - they could feed office noise into the studio, but have chosen not to.
In my opinion, this has resulted in a cleaner looking, more professional operation (no more people wandering acorss the back of shot loking for something to do). Yes, there is a couple of issues with the screens, but it makes them look real, compared the ITN virtual studio (which they could have opted for but again, chose not to).
When you look at it from a professional position, it's obvios why they chose to close N9 over the others. Which studios have the better facilities, space and flexibility?

I am not sure, alarsne, but I only recall her being one of the main news anchors on BBC World back in the nineties. She mainly did the overnights, but often did other programmes as well, including the predecessor to the current Asia Today.
In fact, yesterday's line up on World was just exactly as it was 12 years ago!!! Martine Dennis, Peter Dobbie and Linette Tye. If Alastair Yates either followed Linette last night or preceded Martine yesterday morning, it would have been a very nostalgic 4-in a row!
Let's hope this is a long term assignment.

A thoroughly exhausted looking Lyse Doucet now anchoring live from Tblisi, with Peter Dobbie holding up the London end of things.
I think World reacts well to these situations. Clearly Lyse is the chosen troubleshooter for the channel. She seems to have more outings than any other World anchor.

I seem to recall she used to also present on Newsroom South East as well.
Yes, Linette used to present Newsroom South East for a while around 1997/1998.
I think she also presented on Business Breakfast in 1993 for a while, when Sara Coburn was on maternity leave.

Tonight is the first time I've seen Hilary Andersson reporting for what seems like years! Where has she been and is she now back with the BBC permanently?

It seems as though BBC World has gone off air, at least in Europe. The Hotbird feed is just a black screen while the Astra version is showing a freeze frame of an interview with someone in Moscow. The timestamp is '20:20 Local' so I'm guessing it went off air at 1620 GMT?
