RT reverted back to the normal font today. It appears they're using Arial for their news bulletins on Sunday which are branded 'The Weekly'

They should personally pick a font and stick with it rather than have differencing fonts all over the place.

RT UK is coming.



Apologies for the poor recording quality at the start of the video.

Another trail for RT UK. Like RT America, it'll be a Mon-Fri opt-out of the RT Intl service during the evening peak. The studio appears to share with Going Underground.

I've seen a lot of posters up around London for RT lately. Daft "second opinion" campaign where they almost suggest they could have stopped the war in Iraq.

Nice studio for RT UK. Fantastic work! It looks like Bill Dod will be main anchor on RT UK.

It may also explain the absence of some of the other Moscow based anchors who may also be doing pilots for the UK service.

Didn't think there would be a market for RT in the Uk, i know next to nothing about this but will it be a RT news channel in the uk, or news from the uk on the main RT channel? e.g Aljazeera frequently crosses over to their London newsrom for news in Europe.

As explained, it seems to be an opt-out of the international channel. AlJazeera were apparently planning to do the same kind of thing with AlJazeera UK, but we've not heard a lot about that since they moved into the Shard. But it would seem a bit odd to invest so much money into the new studios if it was only going to be on air for three/four hours a night.

Launches on Thursday, was that already known? 5 hours each day.

Also intrigued by the image they've used. I can't imagine many people using the hashtag #Fresh would be that interested in an ISIS story.

RT (as per usual) haven't updated the EPG on Freeview for Thursday evening, showing the normal international programming.

I've downloaded the RT app for LG Smart World just in case I can't watch In the Now.
