But its a pre-record of the one that went out 2 minutes before (on Meridian at least), which I don't quite see the point of...


Judging by that cap it was a clean version of the programme for other broadcasters


Yep understood now I've seen both. There are two versions, first the bulletin as transmitted (not live, at least not this time), then the pictures and clean audio of all the reports, so the latter can be used by anyone who wants it, and the former as a reference so you can use it in context.
We saw a little bit of the news presenter and her make up kit. Smile

Thanks Asa, I had this particular channel tuned in for some time showing an unusual test card, but noticed something was fishy about this channel, so I had another look today, I guess we can enjoy while it lasts, it's always interesting to see behind the scenes. Smile


There are a lot of ITN feeds dotted round the satellites, it's rather strange that there is one on Astra...

The content is similar to the CBS feed on another satellite, a clean, live programme and then an edited version with astons etc...hey, I even saw Dan Rather putting on makeup...

Well it's being provided by BT, it's another switching error, I think it is very interesting, it's nice to see the ITN logo with it's own branded graphics.

Good find, wonder how long it will be on.
Does anyone know when 'World Focus' is broadcast as I would assume that will go out over this feed.

Very interesting to watch them 'working' in the newsroom !

In case I have missed the point of it, what is it there for, and how long will it last?

Probably until someone realises their cockup, or until the line is needed for something else

Well it's for ITN staff I guess and other broadcasters, it's commonly out there on inclined satellites, but I think it actually encrypts usually, hence it says that it's restricted.

No one know anything about air times for World Focus then?

Still on. Just been watching the late news. Nothing amazing - just a VT clock a minute beforehand and VT clock into weather while pres play out the sponsorship sting. Then black then bizarrely this into the reporter-less clips...

I hope its repeated (like tomorrow - as I doubt this feed will be on till Friday), and I'd like to see it.
