I will say however that it is nice to see News24 being treated as a dedicated news channel, although this is of course not the case.
Good to see them taking the initiative and introducing different types of programming, drop the stiff upper lip approach and it might just work.
(I did an entire 2 hour exam today about the BBC Accent!)
Nice astons (even better than Sky - perhaps the best on TV)
Presenter has as much energy & life as I brick. Mike Wilson (back on Sky twice a day for 1/2 hr) is much better. Jeff Randal, who I've never rated. He's got the perfect voice for newspapers (he should have stuck with Sunday Biz).
Interesting to see on BBC the biz editor is the guest, while on Sky he presents the show - much better than BBC.
After CNN International breaking out of coverage on joing CNNUS today I have seriously grown to like the CNNUS astons.
They are animated yet transparent and look like a sort of yellow gel, very well put together.
On the subject of the Biz Today astons...
I like the astons but the animation looks a bit jerky.
I think if we are being honest it looks as though Business Today is just an attempt to provide a bit of variation, doesn't seem like that much thought has gone into the production of the programme, nor that much effort.
Considering it was the first show you would expect them to not have made any mistakes, sadly this didn't happen!
