BBC Tunbridge Wells

Did anyone see that on one of the reports on Newsnight last night, there was an interview from the Tunbridge Wells newsroom.

The interviewee was standing in front of a screen showing a still from the blue corporate regional titles, featuring a map of the new South East region, with the words 'BBC Tunbridge Wells' in the centre, presumably where 'South East Today' will go.

I think the video should be available at www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight

How far into the programme was it?

On the Realvideo stream, it is at 7:14 into the program.

Well, that image must be from during the opening titles to SE Today, as it is in a funny position. As a rule, all the regional maps are the right way up in the last part of the opening titles. It may be the end part of the sting, though.

Just a thought, but maybe those screens point to bulletins being presented from the newsroom?

Maybe! I can;t wait for it to launch though - loads more titles to add to the collection!! BTW, we now have every BBC region/nation covered!! Thanks to everyone, especially Asa!

I sense you are about to explode with excitement!

Do you know when you will have these back on the web site? I love the title sequences to the BBC regional news programmes. Also, will they all be the same size, dimensions I mean not file size. The last ones I downloaded varied - e.g. the South Today titles are about half the size of the Look East ones. And what about the bit-rate? 350Kbps vs. 450Kpbs.

I don't know, Asa only knows that!! The reason why the Look East/NW Today/NW Tonight/Look North ones are bigger is because of me! I captured the NW Today ones in a larger size, because I feel that it gives a better quality of picture. However, the file size increases slightly. The Look East/Look North ones I asked people for, and also asked for them in this large size. I don't know how to capture any smaller with WinTV!! Sorry if this causes any problems! I know the ones Asa does are smaller. The South Today ones are now small, I do know that.

I was working on Newsnight last night (my name was in the credits!) and it was quite difficult to do the Tunbridge Wells feed - they have no reception working yet so there was a struggle to get through on the phone to the place!

I agree. I would rather wait a bit longer to download the files, even though I have a slow 56K connection. Apologies for going off-topic for a moment, but as the number of broadband users increases have you thought about offering larger, higher resolution clips? I guess this is Asa's decision, right?

Yes, everything to do with the entire TV Home site is to do with Asa. I only help him with the forum. You'd have to speak to Asa to suggest clips being a bigger size.
