It's not BBC World's fault, it's News 24's fault for giving into viewers with square tellys, they effectively had to reposition the clock, and BBC World end up with a red block!
Couldn't News 24 just remove the clock when simulcasting? Or at least add the clock to a blank part of the ticker using a different output than the one given to World?
There may be a clean feed from News 24, but then they would need staff at World gallery possibly, BBC World Pres should just stick up a static graphic, with the website and e-mail links on the white bit!

... Original designers probably done it. Its been like that since day one of new look, only thing changed since there is Live/time being moved down and the ticker text has been made a tad smaller. now the red block on dog during overnights, BBC World can't help it.

The silly thing about what's possible with the presentation, is that it's all just technical. If they automated the systems a bit better, none of this would be impossible.
I'd go so far as to say that an outfit with far less money would be forced to increase automation this way. I know I used to work at a broadcaster that was jealous how the BBC's newsroom had more funding than our entire network, which forced us to use one set of people to produce headlines for TV, web, mobile and interactive; whereas when our boss toured the BBC, he found a lot of duplication going on.
(Of course the whole "one headline for all" regime had its problems ... often I'd meet the journos grumbling that they had to reduce the length of the headline to "Summit Sits" or something equally nondescript ... funny though that I think five years later, this seems reasonably normal now).

One thing I notice more and more, when an anchor does the headlines often the graphics don't correspond with what is said. It doesn't happen often with News 24 but happens a lot on World.

Why, why do they broadcast a programme such as Francesco's Italy on BBC World? I know BBC World doesn't deal with just news and news analysis but also with cultural documentaries, but that programme is not culture, it's just rubbish. All the worst Italian stereotypes presented by that freaky man with a dubious haircut and the most untolerable Italian accent. That weird man wouldn't get a 5 mins programme of his own here in Italy, how did he get to the BBC? If I were a foreigner coming to Italy I would be frightened to see him on his Alfa Romeo singing songs that haven't been sung since the 50s or walking around saying "Dis is de countrry of luuuuuuuv".

I watched that series on BBC ONE last summer. I really enjoyed it. As a regular visitor to Italy, I found it very enjoyable and interesting. I'm not surprised it has been picked up by BBC WORLD as it is cultural/historical programming.
