A - Audio
L - Library
E - Editing
T - Transmissions

probably not even close

Hi Martin,

Over time you will see all the DINGOs....
  Live
  Breaking News
  Latest Pictures
  News Update
etc...
Nothing has really changed on screen, except the FTSE bug, which has a border around it.

However, the red zipping text on story Astons IS new, and will be used in the same way as previous story Astons.

Why Cant the BBC One News use the same astons as News 24 same for Parliament

They may be the same colour but they are different.

Why not use one set rather than have different ones

Because we can! ha ha Smile

Only joking... Don't know is the answer!

There is a Corporate look and formula for all News programmes which must be adhered to, such as using Red & Cream, and for BBC1 using the News2000 music (including the regions, hence they all look the same). Ultimately though, it is the respective Channels Controller who decides how they want things to look.

Tha means i've already seen the BREAKING NEWS aston and the News Update aston, which now looks proper red and the black border for the BBC World DOG been trimmed a little.

But LIVE looks the same.

Also how come the text is been typed out in a different font?

News 24 have been using the new Breaking News zipping text a lot this afternoon (Monday). Certainly catches your attention.
