N24 in Germany has broadcast the G20 Beethoven concert ("Ode to joy") and live pictures of the violent protests in Hamburg at the same time, which I find a bit strange.

It's almost like some sort of surreal art project.

That's brilliant. Saves them having to waffle about how little they know for a while.

Reminds me of the "What a Wonderful World" scene from Good Morning, Vietnam:

It's like in Japan recently where they have to handle too much information on a single screen (for instance NHK with the recent torrential rain caused by a typhoon):







Japanese TV has a thing called the "L bar" (L字) which acts just like a typical news ticker. But it only appears when there's big news happening like natural disasters or elections. There are no regular news tickers on Japanese TV, other than occasional news flashes or weather updates which always appear at the top of the screen.

The L bar appears at a certain side of the screen unlike a news ticker which is always at the bottom of the screen. (Commercial stations have a L bar on the left while NHK is different)

The original screen is deliberately stretched out to make space for the L bar and avoid being disturbed. News tickers always appear as it is and might ignore the disturbance of screen space. The relevant text information (just like a news ticker) is on one side and the title is written vertically at the other side. If it's related to typhoon or torrential rain they'll put up a small weather radar graphic at the bottom.

Inside the screen but surrounded by the L bar, as seen in the embedded tweets above, are information related to torrential rain which is surrounded by another L-bar like thing but coming from the network feed in Tokyo. At the bottom is relevant program info graphics saying "related news is coming at 1:00 or 1:30 am" etc. On the left side but not on the L bar is the weather warning. The purple coloured one is the emergency warning.

Japan has on-screen clocks but they are always in 12-hour format and they never show "12:00", instead they show "0:00". Also they're always at the top left.

In terms of news graphics, it looks like Japan is still stuck in the 80s.

TBH, when those graphics appear (aka During Natural Disasters), I'm pretty sure the appearance isn't that big of a concern. So long as everybody and read and understand the information, then the layout or the graphics shouldn't be an issue.

I'd understand the big letters, but the colour gradient, as well as the white letter with black outline, are not so 21st century, I feel.

I think he was talking generally. Japanese TV graphics always seem rather dated compared to neighbouring countries like China or South Korea.
