It appears to have completely replaced the SD version, like NHK World. EDIT: On demand as well. Putting the butt into butter Permalink
Hatton Cross3,156 posts since 4 Jan 2003 30 June 2018 6:15am Central (West) Midlands Today Why is it that far 'north' on the Sky EPG? Would have expected it around 510's in the news section? My user name might look like Hatton Cross, but it's pronounced Throatwobbler Mangrove. Permalink

dvboy9,707 posts since 11 Jan 2003 30 June 2018 12:44pm Central (West) Midlands Today The SD version is on 512 in the news section and 873 is among where the SD channels sit for HD viewers, so I would expect them to swap at some point. 1 rob gave kudos Permalink
Spencer For Hire5,778 posts since 13 Jan 2003 30 June 2018 4:45pm Yorkshire Look North (Yorkshire) If I remember correctly, when BBC News HD launched, it was also on a higher EPG number, and it took a couple of weeks for it to swap to 503 (for those with an HD sub).

TheTravelcard41 posts since 16 Aug 2018 19 August 2018 9:11pm All afternoon, there has been no live content or news bulletins on the English channel (HD&SD), it has just been reports on a loop, with 'Follow news 24/7 on France24.com/en' on a static newsbar. The French channel is operating normally though - any ideas why? Cannot find info on their media. Permalink
Richard893 posts since 22 Apr 2012 4 November 2018 11:23pm Granada North West Today Watching France 24 English and the presenter (in Paris) is wearing a Royal British Legion Poppy. Now I know that poppies are worn in a number of countries; however this is specifically a British poppy. I am not criticising the wearing of it at all , but I do find it interesting because although this is an anglophone service, it isn't specifically a UK service, is it? Do BBC World News presenters wear one? Permalink
AlexS673 posts since 19 Oct 2016 4 November 2018 11:36pm Central (East) Midlands Today Only during simulcasts (which to me is the most confusing option when presenters are seen with it in some hours but not others on the same day). EDIT: While the above was the case this evening it seems that some presenters are wearing them in some non-simulcast hours. Permalink
