Not too sure if this has already ben mentioned but the overnight bulletins on News 24 are coming from the World studio?? Has this been happening much?

Yes, it's been mentioned before, and it's happening for several months (IIRC) whilst the air conditioning problem in the N24 studio is fixed.

Is it just weekend nights, or weekday as well???

What colour is the World studio?

I thought it was a dark set, while 24 used red & cream.

The reason I ask is I happened to switch to News 24 at 1am on Saturday morning, which is, I gather, the regular time for the joint bullys to start, & it looked like the regular 24 set, to me.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, 'cos I'm not a regular nighttime 24 viewer, but they don't use the World studio every night, do they !

Here's the BBC World newsroom for you:

Why is it that (except at the moment whilst the aircon's being fixed) BBC World takes News 24 overnight, rather than the other way round?

Surely it'd make much more sense for News 24's overnights to come permanently from the World set given that World is the more prestigious service. Besides, half of the world will see the News 24 'overnights' in the middle of the day - hardly what you want for a flagship international news service.

Because BBC One is actually the flagship channel for the BBC and it is a shop window for News 24.

To me it'd make a lot more sense to make both sets look more or less identical and you wouldn't have any of these problems!

Both sets? Why not just go the whole hog and have News 24, World and BBC1 sets look the same? Much more consistent, though I bet people would slate it. Just seems logical to me.

Hmmmm! Not sure? I think that's too far.
