But the countdown just dosen't sound right when they go into the headlines bed, i'm still trying to get use to it, but it dosen't sound right.

I reckon they need to bring the The World Today presentation to every single BBC World bulletin and quick!!

BTW, We gotta watch it tommorow then, see how it will sound.

Well I have the News 24 countdown followed by TWT every day, and believe me, it sounds great!

If anyone would host my video file of the opening to the TWT, please contact me.

Why? What's special about it? Is it just that it's novel & you're now bored with the N24 one?

It would fit in with BBC World more, and it would be different overnight, like the idents are

Yeah, I see what you're saying, but N24 isn't World. They only provide a World News biased bulletin between 00 & 25:30 past each hour

You're still watching N24. The channel only becomes generic when the world audience is watching N24's output

yea, but people can notice the new music and titles, so why not make life easier forthe BEEB employes, rather than two countdowns, just use world's its similar to n24's but it will save disruptions
