I don't see why we need WNT. 'BBC World News' is strong enough brand until regular programming resumes.

We don't need WNT. For some reason that poster is obsessed with the WNT brand and keeps coming up with increasingly far fetched suggestions as to how it should return and has done since the beginning of B100D.


Its not, I don't knock the format I like it as its a hybird of a BBC News Channel & BBC One Bulletin, its the longest running strand. WNT makes it stand out from generic bulletins and feel more scripted compared to generic

I agree. A World News anchor programme at 8pm on both channels would offer a nice alternative to generic BBC News. If I recall correctly, Sky’s short lived World News with James Rubin aired at 8pm LON time. Although that format in itself wasn’t considered a success, the time slot was quite good IMO.

A 7pm slot would go head to head with C4 News. Nothing wrong with that, as BBC News Channel already does.

But a simple world digest (not fancifully branded) from 8 to 9pm would be a good option IMO.

The World News from the BBC.

I find this video very odd. Who’s it aimed at? Which audience is it serving? TV Forum?

Yoofs, I think.

It's on a personal Twitter account, it doesn't need to serve a particular audience.

I'm guessing that it's aimed at the people that follow Emma. And yes, TV Forum.

TikTok is full of behind the scenes content, to the degree that there are often parody behind the scenes videos about things like McDonalds where its implied that putting random objects in a microwave magics them into full meals.

Emma and a couple of others are very good with TikTok content which is seen as a good way to humanise and increase interest in businesses. See also MaxFoster for CNN and the amazingly offbeat Washington Post account.

Sophia Smith Galer is also a good one on TikTok, really good content about journalism and the news.

That video sure grabs attention of younger generation.

By the way, I didn't expect to hear a popular K-pop song there (not that I'm complaining nor I'm a huge fan of K-pop). I thought they'd use actual BBC News bed or something.

You realise she’s employed by the BBC and made it for the BBC? Of course it matters who the audience is.

I’m not scrutinising the style - I understand that’s the ‘TikTok way’. I just struggle to believe a 16-year-old gives two-hoots about an OOV and it screams BBC naval-gazing.
