It's now been a few weeks since it was mentioned that there were to be new look daytime news bulletins on the BBC. Does anyone know when they are to begin?

Could it be tomorrow, which could be a link in with TWT?

The Guardian report on changes to the daytime news bulletins were rubbished by BBC management, were they not?

I believe so. Mind you, I think the Guardian also reported that the BBC were considering making the Ten O'Clock News more like '60 Seconds', so it's not really surprising!

I think it was a bit of a misunderstanding - the daytime bulletins (I think!) are going to be produced by N24, so the Guardian thought that this would mean a new look for them. But apparently it doesn't!

I think they are going to get a slightly different look on September 17 (which was the last date I got)... not sure if they are going to be radically different although I understand there will be changes...

I have a question about when TWT will be broadcast…On BBC World, will it only be on from 5.00-5.30 UK time, or will it be on ? Thanks.
