And by the way, the announcer on analogue, is the one who does the North's '10' clocks.

With them running 20 late, they might join BBC News 25 at 2.00 exactly

That's Dan Austin. He's an announcer for BBC One (and does UK Drama I think) but he obviously channel-hopped to apologise for the problems!

Cheers, Asa

What time is News 24 joining 1?
Also, anyone think the chatroom could have been introduced for tonight?
Perhaps Asa could bring it back for special occasions such as this?

Something is interesting on BBC1 DTT - they're obviously taking the output from BBC1 analogue, since TV to Go is showing in 14:9, but within the 16:9 frame. And the other giveaway - the smaller 'subtitles' caption from the start of the ident. BBC2 seems normal.
