There was no countdown on N24 - just a still caption of the 1 O'clock logo with something along the lines of, "The One O'Clock news follows on News 24" written at the bottom. The countdown music was played over this.
The 'new' 1 O'clock News logo, by the way.
EDIT: That capture above makes this post redundant. Can't keep up with this thread!
The power is still not fully on at TVC. It is hoped to get news bulletins running again from TVC after 1600 today. Some news bulletins will transfer to Millbank again over the wekend so power can be properly restored. The lack of full power means it is impossible to run News 24 pilots that's why the launch is delayed

Hardly surprising. If they can't find a copy of the real countdown they can always download the music off the net!
