I've just been looking at the BBC's 'whats on' webpage and noticed that we are getting Asia Today at 3.30 am - 4.00 am and then This Week at 4.30 am - 5.00 am.

Will this be the first time that we'll get a full half hour of Asia Today, and the first edition of This Week on BBC News 24? Or is this just a one off? If someone could confirm this, then please do!

As far as I know I have never seen This Week on BBC News though it caught my eye on BBC World becuase it uses the same graphics as Reporters.

Yes that's right, This Week was always only on BBC World, it has never been shown on News 24 before, except when News 24 joined World when the BBC was bombed!

Yes, but the point is that Worldwide Internet Television is a website from which you can access live internet broadcasts of many television channels.

I'd have thought the name of the website served to impart this...

As long as you've got Real Media and Media Player plugins, you can watch something. Click your way into the list of available TV channels and look for BBC World. Smile

I'm not sure if you are saying that it has been on this week, or will be on. I'll presume you mean its scheduled to be on.

I recall seeing the full half hour edition some time last week, obviously influenced by events in the US. I recall an interview about implications for Israel I think. Though it was fairly early in the morning.
