Lines are open Monday-Friday, so no-one will pick up, will they?
Is it a looped version of the titles, or bed perhaps?
You can hear the Daybreak music in glorious telephone quality if you call

Not sure if it is different to what has already been posted here.

It might be the longer 20 second titles.

That video wall looks very out-dated, what with the gaps in between the screens. Didn't Sky News look a bit like that pre-2005?
That's "Seamless Plasma" - they're effectively plasmas without the normal plastic cases around them, meaning you can get them pretty close together.
They are a lot brighter than most projectors (including Barcos) - you'd have to pay a LOT more for a projector as bright - and they take up a LOT less space and need a lot less maintenance. There are LCD solutions with smaller seams (as used in the BBC Election set for the main big screen I believe) but you can't use LCDs if you are using polarising filters on your cameras. LED is still too coarse-pitch for use in such a small space.
Seamless plasma is probably the only solution, and I think quite a nice solution - with a slight retro edge. If you're going to have lines in your video wall - embrace them, don't try to ignore them (as with Barcos)
If they are plasmas I am surprised they are using a static image on it, how long until the image burns into the screen.
Plasma burn is less of an issue now than it used to be - and if it is switched off for 20 hours a day and displaying a mix of content rather than just a static logo, then I doubt it will be too much of a problem. (You can always route black to it when it isn't in-vision or displaying something moving)
I have to say that I was happy that they have acknowledged the gaps between the plasmas. I much prefer them to projectors.

I didn't get any of the music. I just got a woman saying the opening times etc.

I think that's one of the more personal comments I've seen you make on here, Noggin. But she doesn't have a particularly extensive background prior to joining the BBC does she? Something about being a reporter for Zee TV in London and short stints here and there on the BBC Asian Network and "PTV Prime", but otherwise seems quite inexperienced.
I also found her one of the most annoying presenters on the BBC News Channel when she was doing Entertainment news - she didn't make a particularly strong newsreader or presenter in my opinion, but a slightly better interviewer. Apparently she's meant to be delivering "Breaking News" to Daybreak, too.
The cynic in me says she looks the part, though, and that that may have played a part.
In regards to Kate/ Dan, it was previously reported Kate would be Christine's stand-in, and with Grainne continuing to work for Irish TV that might make it a bit impractical for her to act as a last minute replacement. Having said that, I'd much rather have John Stapleton as stand in than Dan Lobb - John does seem to be being hidden away here.
No worries about Adrian as presenter - more than qualified in my opinion. Christine will be fine if this is anything like TOS, but make this programme too Newsnight (not that I think they will) and she might have issues.
An interesting fact, now I think of it, was that Penny Smith previously said her role on Daybreak, as it's now known, would simply have been newsreader. Is Tasmin Lucia Khan really on par with the vastly-experienced Penny Smith?
I'd be much more worried about Tasmin Lucia Khan than Christine if I were at Daybreak. Let's hope she's just asked to read an autocue and not do anything more...

I sent a tweet to one of the Directors and asked about cover presenting for Adrian & Christine, he very kindly sent a reply confirming that Kate & Dan will be the cover presenters.
I am surprised at the choice of Dan, even though him and Kate were very good together, I thought that they would have gone for John.

I think the choice of Dan - just shows the different route maybe the show intends to go down. John is a respected broadcaster, whereas Dan is the everyday man. They are trying to appeal to the everyday audience and can do with Adrian, Christine, Kate & Dan. It allows John to focus on bringing the news element to the programme.

That's a good point - I see what you're saying. The hosts from what we have been told so far will be there to present but it will be the on-screen editorial team (such as John) who will deliver the hard-hitting news related to their area. I am really looking forward to the show.

What is 5 a day all about?!

That image would lead me to assume that Kate and Dan are cover for Adrian and Christine (look at the autocue screen)
