Was quite funny watching the BBC 6 O'Clock news and at the end them heavily promoting the 10 O'Clock news. They must have spent a whole 3 minutes saying what would be coming on up on the ten.

Not sure if anyone else watched the trailer for NaT at the end of tonight's Evening News. The sting that played at the end was different to the one that has been doing the rounds on other promos; though it was rather brief, it sounded similar to the 1999-2004 themes.


It was just the other sting cut down slightly. The composers will have recorded various different stings, stabs and beds for use on the programme. I'm not surprised it sounded like the 1999 music, as that was based on NAT's music in the first place.


I'm aware of that... it just didn't sound like the other sting. Though it most probably was a shortened-down version, come to think of it.

I think with News at Ten having the interview with Dr. Khan, more people will watch. Many people loved Diana and any story to do with her people watch.

It was funny watching the BBC promoting the 10 o'clock news, people must know they are worried about tonight.

Yikes. Talk about panicking.

Good feature on C4 News, with contributions from Huw Edwards, Peter Horrocks and John Ryley - and shots of Julie Etchingham and Mary Nightingale chatting in the ITV newsroom

Yes - plus Jon Snow saying how fantastic Channel 4 News was at the end - and yet, somehow, the credits at the end were missing the credits Razz

Sheer professionalism over on 4. Razz

Jon Snow signed off his Snowmail tonight with:

"See you at 7 for the real news. Who needs to wait til 10?"

Laughing



Exactly - never understood the theory people will wait till late evening for the news. By that time of night I certainly want something a bit more enjoyable to watch.



Anyhow, the BBC have shot themselves in the foot today with their desperate plugging of the Ten o'clock News - what happened to letting the journalism doing the talking?

The return of News at Ten is a news story, and the day's top media story. Another BBC Ten o'clock News isn't!


Looks like tonight's programmes will see the programme editors setting the news agendas with their "special" reports, rather than actually leaving it to the "news" to fill the programme.

Think the majority of people are at home and settled in by that time. Am I the only one thinking that the BBC might react by putting there news back to The 9 O Clock News again?

That would be an admission of defeat, the BBC will not want to do...

I honestly don't think the BBC would move their bulletin to 9pm again. Although, I could be wrong! Laughing
