Just a reminder that the new '60seconds' starts on BBC Choice and Online at 7pm on Monday.
Would be interested to know what you think about the style (and I'm sure you'll say!).

Well at least Fiona gave 60seconds a plug during the 6!
And my posting this it'll shove it up to the top of the list again.

What is '60 seconds'? Is it just a 60 second news slot?

Anyway, I'll watch at 7 to have a look!

Only 3 bulletins tonight, because the 11pm one is in the middle of a programme - is that correct?

Well, good luck to Nicky and all the team - I assume people will capture stuff from the bulletins (maybe even the whole bulletin as it's only 60 seconds!!) and upload it here!

What'll happen at 9pm? Will Chris Price hand over to 60seconds for a recap of the news? Will it be intergrated or not?

Cheers, Asa

They are 60 second bulletins on BBC Choice, plus a website where the majority of the content is.
As to end of Liquid News - it's a very very tight turnround but no the programme will end (that's because it's repeated at 1am) and we pick up after a promo.
As to films etc across 11 - the nights that happens there'll be a strap (AFAIK) pointing to the website.
Watch at 7 and let me know what you think ....
there is an internet version of the bulletin of the website but this is different to the onair one - when you see it you'll see why!

I like the fact it is credited to BBC NEWS.

What happens if they exceed 60 seconds - are they just faded out?

The website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/60seconds doesn't work! It says 403: Forbidden!

Well the end screen certainly faded out very quickly!

No sign of the website yet...
