I'm currently in San Francisco right now and I just saw the "Big Al" on BBC World (on air on PBS 6pm PDT). In Orlando, Florida, same channel, I saw Peter Dobbie (in London) and Justin Webb (in Washington) I assume 6pm or 9pm EDT. Unreal!


Yea and your point is? Do you need to tell us where you are? No ...


Perhaps its a prelude to his up and coming hotel reviews

Well if I didnt remember wrongly, he did a similar thing some time ago and I posted that he's more interested in which hotel he was staying in.

Whatever to "the eye". I'm flying back to the Philippines tomorrow. I hope Alan Johnston will be safe.

I still see BBC World Presentation are still putting up their static red dog over the gallery's main BBC World DOG on programmes such as Sport Today, WBR, truely pathetic, I have seen the ident on screen, I have to admit this new ident is not that good, plus the continuity announcer is not in the same league as Adrian Finegan.

As to the slogan of putting news first, yeah right more like put WBR first over a press conference which was taken by a lot of the other broadcasters

Just saw the ident for the first time on TV! When it was about to say "Putting News First", it reminded me of the countdown... Much better than the previous one (2003-2007).

*By the way, just returned to the Philippines.*

You can say that again but I'm not looking to upcoming hotel reviews, etc. I just looked over PBS and saw the World News Bulletins. And also, in Palo Alto, I got to see the BBC World flags again for World's advertisement in PBS.
