BBC News Channel desperately needs some new footage to accompany this story; I've lost count of the number of times I've seen the yellow helicopter and the red helicopter taking off - the same 40 seconds of footage is being looped over and over again.

Yes, it's always been used to show what's 'Coming Up' on BBC News, ever since the '08 relaunch

Yeah - it's used more or less exclusively for 'coming up' signposting, as in your screenshot.
