The End of The World!

its just a good point if you look at how it was done in that link I think everyone would agree that it was a much better format

Titles and music are great, but the set is embarassingly awful. Really don't understand why don't they use the normal set, the one used for regular bulletins.

I know how its been done since WNT first started.

So... after she said "This is World News Today" BBC World opted out for weather, whilst on BBC Four they closed it! Then after the weather she welcomed us back on BBC World then said whats coming up then went into a break.

Did the old show on BBC Four have a weather bulletin? If not, tonight must have been one of the shortest gaps between him being on one channel then N24 30secs later!

I'm pretty sure it did.

why do we at 19.00 not get the thunderclap headline bed it lookes much better i dont think the 12.00 edition should be any different to the 19.00 edition

you are right about the set this show would look good in N6 or TC7 even set 1 in N9,

Jesus christ you are bitching about this everywhere, go away TROLL

yeah, can anyone remove this "looknorth" user, please?

im sorry if i have been banging on to much about it, i just dont see why it has to be different for the BBC4 Simulcast

[quote="Asa"]Did the old show on BBC Four have a weather bulletin?

Thanks for those.


Without underestimating the importance of BBC World within BBC News, it does show in some respects the lack of effort with the flagship BBC1 bulletins.

Mainly the little things like the astons - from a UK perspective we see a BBC Four bulletin with a fully working graphics package ala BBC News 24, while BBC1 are stuck with those nasty fade on, fade off captions!


In addition, World News Today gets a distinctive set of titles which are undoubtably linked to the corporate them, but give the programme the appearance of it being a little bit more important by not using the generic titles used elsewhere.
