All the DOGs disappeared (into their kennels?) last night for the election coverage. When I got in from work today about 4pm I watched N24 and the main one and the clock were back - but no web address!

Could they have finally listened - or do you think they'll now put up their new address?!

Yeah - I saw it'd gone - but N24 seem to be having trouble with all their Astons today - at just befor 5pm the FTSE aston came up along with 'LOGO' written in the top-left hand corner, over the BBC NEWS 24 Identification DOG

Yeah! please tell us it's gone forever and not just for a makeover (bbc.co.uk/news or bbc.co.uk/bbcnews24 come to mind)

when news 24 started at 09.00 this morning they had problems and the headlines and ident were very slow e.g. headline 1 read no picture just jo and ben in the studio then a gap then the other headlines were read with gaps and the ident followed after another gap.. then out of nowhere just into a report a BBC World dog appeared where the normal news 24 dog appears with the word recorded below it. it only stayed a few seconds. perhaps columbus had just been reboted and was waking up. the channel soon got up to speed.

So the dog went on a walk and came back then

And I was genuinely hopeful it had disappeared for good! Oh well, back to the complaints petitions and logic finding

In reference to Andy Wisemans site, all about the rants of the BBC News DOG's - it's very entertaining what he says, and I agree with him 100%!

the only dogs i consider acceptable are ones like the clock and faint channel names like choice. news 24 should take bbc worlds approach and only put the url dog on programme trailers and idents.

I don't know what happened but the BBC World Recorded DOG will have been the last thing used as the News 24 studio was used to record the special Heathrow Express News Bulletins on election night as BBC World was doing a UK Vote 2001 special,
