France 24, isn't really leading this as well as I would have expected.

2007 slide? I though they binned them in 2009. Not to say it's a bad thing though, looks much more appropriate.

I presume a more current design would look something like this with the 'News Report' text.

It's always interesting to see how channels like Bloomberg and CNBC cover rolling news events like this, being primarily business channels.

On the other hand it's debatable if running it on BBC2 is worth it at all as not many will be passing by that channel at this time of the evening.


Lots of people surf between BBC One and ITV by channel up/downing - and will thus go through BBC Two. Much more likely to inform those viewers than just running on the News Channel.

They aren't really geared up for it - but are doing a basic, but reasonable job. They aren't really the French equivalent of BBC World News...

I would has it a guess that World will take over from C at 1am. Are World News still with Martine on the NC in E?

I'd imagine Alice was to do 2300 to 0200 GMT and Ben do 0200 to 0500 but events have drawn Ben in early.
