I had a reply to my Radio 2 jingle query.
She said that he PC wouldn't play it but she was certain she would've enjoyed it!
Then went on to talk about how they go about designing radio and tv music. Very interesting actually.

Does anyone have any inside information , maybe oyu are working for BBC news 24, even now, maybe your on tely now, well just please tell me what you know, Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Nicky said previously, they can't say much so I don't posts like that will make any difference. If you are desperate for information (I mean, it's not that far away!) then I suggest you contact BBC Info, although I doubt they'd be prepared for questions on BBC News Interactive anyway.

Cheers, Asa

Will N24 interactive have streaming video though?
I haven't heard about the BBC buying up any more space to provide video feeds, so perhaps it's just going to be a text service?

I know Sky are upgrading Sky News Active to 'phase 2', with the extra video, but have heard nothing about the Beeb offering video screens.
ITN don't, from what I know, but still call their service Interactive.



As I have said in other threads, the BBC are planning new 'Interactive Bulletins' to come from a set which will be in N8 - but with N8's set slightly moved to accommodate it. There will be loops of streaming news and I think weather updated at various points during the day. The Interactive Bulletins team will, as far as I know, also produce the new daytime bulletins on BBC One/Two.

BBC Interactive is also planning interactive forums and debates on its service.

Will they use the old presenters more or will there be more presenters from regional opt outs?
