Seeing as no-ones mentioned it, Matt Frei is to host the new BBC World News America bulletin with Katty Kay effectively swapping places with him. October 1st also sees the start of the new overnight World News Today with Philippa Thomas in Washington, the overnight presenter and someone else.

Perhaps this is why he was presenting on News 24 recently then.

Agreed. I prefer the old one. The music was much better.

I like it. Looks smart. Elegant. Agree about the music though.

What have they done Shocked , the music is just not BBC at all, it ust seems out of place, and it would have been so much better if they had an overlayed strap at the bottom of the screen saying whats coming up next, then later, with the countdown, with the old music or something similer. its nice that the videos are full screen, but it would be better with some information.

I hate when people say not BBC at all, come on, the past 2 previous tracks used on the breakfiller, didn't exactly scream I AM THE BBC.

The thing I dislike about the breakfiller is the full screen promos. Now they just need to change the 'World Business Report in association with Shell follows the News on BBC World'! oh, and the countdown numbers need to change, and the red data streams need to be changed to the ones similar in the new NWT titles!

Do the WNT titles have data streams in them? No. NWT

I assumed it was a typo. Embarassed I looked in the BBC World schedule just now on bbcworld.com and there is nothing on the listings that stand for NWT. As a new viewer to BBC World I may be very stupid and I don't care so what does NWT mean?

He's referring - somewhat arrogantly, I might add - to BBC North West Tonight, one of the Beeb's regional news programmes in the UK, and which has recently had its on-air look updated.

He means BBC North West Tonight, the regional news programme in the North West of England. Admittedly, the eye should have been clearer on that, especially since it is the BBC World thread which is read mostly by non-UK residents.
