BBC World in Asia

First of all, the special breakfillers used in the mornings during the Asia opt-outs (the back half hours between around 5am and midday Hong Kong time) which consist of two 15 min programmes, either Asia Today, World Business Report or Asia Buisness Report. Incidentally, these opt-outs meant that viewers in Asia didn't get to see when BBC World was showing ABC World News Tonight.

Oh yeah, and these are changed every month, although normally only the one that tells you whats coming up in the month changes. But this time, due to all of the extended coverage, the weekday evening one has also changed, it used to also show when the 'Lifestyle' and 'Current Affairs' programmes would be on in the evening.

Also, one month the word 'global' was spelt 'gobal' and it had to stay there the whole month!

Next, Asia Business Report. As you can see, it's the same look as World Business Report had before all those arrows were added, except for it being more orangey and not in widescreen.

Title sequence (sorry about the last pic, I don't know what happened, but hopefully you can guess what it looks like!):

Unfortunately images hosted by Geocities won't appear on the forum. Why not use TV Forum's hosting facilities?

Fixed it, uploaded 'em here now. Thanks for that.

Hold on,it's only 9.07AM-how on earth did you jump forward 6 hours?

Actually that should be 8 hours ahead, the clocks don't go forward or back in this time zone, I forgot to change it in my profile! I guess the time on the editing thing looks the same to everyone, unlike all the other times on the forum which change from person to person. :

That's interesting Blake, thanks for capturing those images from Asia, I wonder if BBC WORLD in Europe will show Asia Business Report at night.

They don´t broadcast it in Europe. They show the trailer, but not the program.
