BBC World Cock-Up

1AM ET (6AM BST), BBC World messed up and showed the entire coming up list throughout ALL of the ad filler--including the transitions! It was funny to me...

Once, again, to reiterate, long live BBC World in the USA! I wonder how long it's going to last...no ads (I actually got to see weather presentation on World!), N24/World partnership, The World Today *SPECIAL*...this rocks!

Yeah i saw that break filler mistake last night -- I figured the computer froze! Did anyone else see the 'coming up next' idents -- they're reallyu superb. Lambie Nairn and the BBC graphics department are geniuses.

Oh and the countdown is really good too -- I actually like it better than the ten-second one -- it makes more sense for what an up to the hour filler is for and the colours (and music) are really good. I wish they had a top of the hour ident for BBC World though��
