BBC World [soon to be BBC World News]

No it wasn't just the schedule for NZ that was wrong.

Anyway, I've recorded the opening and uploading as we speak.

Strange, considering that I always read 20:10 AEDT.

Anyway, the supers are big, purple and a bit badly designed. The logo their using is starting to be eaten by the supers BG.

The straps are way better than the BBC 2 ones...

Thanks for the caps.



I have TBH, I disagree!

Thanks for the cap. What an excellent and credible addition to World's programme portfolio. It's all good, apart from the headline sweep, which is far too americanised and generally terrible.

I find this rather long coverage of Prince Harry returning home with Brian Hanrahan's commentary might even be excessive to be shown on News 24. To do so on BBC World is absoulutely unreasonable.

It's a disgrace to hear Brian Hanhrahan say things like "He said he was looking forward to seeing a sofa".

I suppose it's reasonable Saturday filler material for N24 but on World it's debatable.

That's very bad news indeed. She was on air yeasterday, was that her last broadcast?

Hanrahan was uncharacteristically shambolic in today's live coverage from Brize Norton. Perhaps it was a directorial error, but Brian spoke in an altogether parochial manner, at times seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was broadcasting "live" to the entire planet via BBC World, who carried the arrival live.

This is oft the downside on occasions when BBC World and CNN International "dip-in" to their home-country domestic output. It all comes across as rather twee and pointless to the larger global audience. Fact.

What a great programme Newsnight is. The BBC should've granted us foreigners the high privilege of watching it a long time ago.

I don't understand what the point is in using completely different graphics to the UK Version, purely for a worldwide audience. What's wrong with the current BBC 2 versions? The titles are a lot nicer, ok the astons are a bit simple, but the worldwide ones are utterly vile.
