Thank goodness they're changing them, as they really bore mee something terrible! I much prefer all the world stuff! Do we know what they're planning on using?

Well as far as I know, something along the lines of The World Today. A more funky tune and vamp etc. I think BBC World are also having a revamp of their stuff. AFAIK, all will appear the same on screen, just the music will change.

They've just got a new one, so that surely that will stay as it is. All I know is that definitly overnight joint service will have new stuff, and most probably BBC World News will go inline with that.

Why do you not like TWT stuff? I think that's the best, especially the special music!

Why did they play the Generic World titles?

I guess Philip Hayton REALLY likes the World titles so much he brought it along with him from [World studio].

World were having BIG computer problems this morning. Maybe they did a joint service to sort out the glitches in the World Newsroom?

Does it really matter? I hate to be picky, but you've seen the World ident before, anyway.

It was probably just a technical problem that meant that they had to use World stuff, big deal.

Here goes...

BBC News overnight will be changing their idents, vamps and tags etc.

BBC World may be changing, but I need confirmation. (It most probably will, as there unlikely to use different stuff just overnight!

Everything will look the same, AFAIK.

But what about BBC News 24? Are they going to be changing, because I think they need to!
