I only just spotted your post there

I think its ok but I think they could have at least had a different variation than just the plain breakfiller as only I was looking at the screen at the time it just sounds like a continuation of the Break filler

Just a guess, but looking at the times when it appears, like just after Sport Today, maybe it's doing the same thing as the breakfillers but for when programmes are sponsored? I think that's what the weather titles are for too, I remember it being sponsored by Western Union for a while.

Can someone please explain this to me as I don't quite understand! Does this get shown during the advert filler with different music being played? Or is it just a picture of it? Someone please explain!

The image is moving and the music is the one used during the Coming Up portion of the breakfiller. I've never seen it used for more than about 5 seconds.

Cheers Blake! I now fully understand! Would it be possible for anyone to capture it?

I'm going to be getting a broadband internet connection fairly soon, how good is the connection when watching BBC World on the internet? Because, with the connection I have now, it's all fuzzy and stops, and basically CRAP!

It will be like watching it on Television when you put it on Full Screen. It is ABSOLUTELY great, and I hope BBC never pulls the plug on the feed. Very Happy

Are you able to watch the BBC World live feed in full screen?
