I've just seen BBC News 24 titles played out, was that a mistake.

This must be the first time BBC World viewers have ever seen BBC News 24!

Well that's a mistake, but it's happened before. I remember at 0100 hours GMT they played the News 24 ident.

I'm not too sure whether it was a mistake or intended. The reason is becasue the 1700 bulletin is a live bulletin from New York with Philppa Thomas. She said 'This is BBC News, live from New York. The headlines...' spoken over the ordinary N24 vamp. I think that they intended it.

So is the N24 ident good in your opinion?
