BBC News 24 Relaunch

No, but you have now dramatically edited two of your posts to make them much less scathing of what you admit was just a mistake.

Marcus - I apologise for any offence caused. Especially if you know the person concerned and can vouch for their abilities. I'm afraid more often than not, in my experience, a person who is not upto the job gives themselves away with mistakes during standard sequences. If this was not the case then I'm sorry, however your last paragraph seems to suggest the person may well not have been particularly "used to" pushing faders. Shocking for an international TV service.

I'm pretty sure that (certainly not long ago) if something like that happened on the World Service you would be hauled over the coals about it. The quality was certainly always very high there.

I'm genuinely sad if people are overstretched - and quite shocked if the person responsible for sound can't hear it in the gallery.. that can't be right!!

is that BBC Sport logo that the ticker was going into just then new?

So you're suggesting that because someone makes a mistake on a "standard sequence", that they're "not up to the job"?? The circumstances every TOTH are going to be wildly different, especially since we're talking about live news channels - things vary from minute to minute, never mind hour to hour.

Well the thread has served its purpose and to help with archiving, it will be closed. Feel free to create a general discussion thread for the channel.

Thanks to all participants. It'll certainly be interesting to read all the comments again in the future.
