Nah, I'm sure he signed off on NR Matthew Price for Newsround or something like that and for the BBC News variant 'Matthew Price, BBC News'.
It was definitely shown on NR first then BBC News. I know this for a fact as I had News 24 on all day and switched the TV over for some reason and caught the report, then about an hour later Jane Hill was linking to it.
How on earth can you watch News 24 all day. It must be incredibly repetitive.

I had some work to do and had the TV on in the background. It was repetitive but wasn't bothered as that day there was quite a bit of breaking news - in particular the news that a body had been found that was completely burned.

[Depends when you're watching - they play the full end theme if there are segments contained within the programme they need to credit, or if it's the end of the week for example.
I think it's mainly depending on how much time is left! Full credits are produced on the roller for every programme as far as I know... it's just if they run over then they'll use the short ones.
Newsnight and Breakfast Time used to be part of BBC Current Affairs (as were Nationwide and Sixty Minutes, and even the South East regional news when it was South East at Six and London Plus) This was a separate division to BBC News with separate staff - with much of current affairs based at Lime Grove, not at TV Centre, as News was (Though Newsnight DID come from TV Centre). However John Birt merged the two departments in the late 80s/early 90s, and current affairs moved to TV Centre... Lime Grove shut in the early 90s - The Late Show was the last studio show produced there (by BBC Music & Arts I think)
Technically now Newsnight is part of BBC News (which was for a while named News and Current Affairs, before the current affairs bit of the name was ditched) - however it is produced almost entirely by its own production team - and has a team of its own correspondents. It has a totally different style and 'agenda' to the rest of BBC News output - it is less bulletin-y - and feels like a separate programme. I would not be surprised if Newsnight relaunched some time this year - and I would not be surprised if it nodded a bit to the corporate look, as Westminster Live and Despatch Box have.
As for Newsround - editorially it is produced by BBC Childrens' but in the spirit of One BBC there would be no problem with Matthew Price doing a version of his Newsround report for other BBC News outlets. It is likely that News would contribute to Newsrounds costs as part of the deal, but that is fair.
Newsround reporters are often quite well respected in other parts of BBC News - indeed Matthew is leaving Newsround to be the BBC Belgrade correspondent I believe?

Newsround does seem to be a good training ground for people moving to other parts of BBC News - mainly Breakfast...

Think they probably will quite soon - the show has just got a new editor. 'New editors' usually like to 'make their mark' with some sort of rebrand - in this case taking it to the generic look.

I love the way that Newsnight's credits sort of 'accelerate' at the start - I've never seen another programme use it but it works well.
Technically now Newsnight is part of BBC News (which was for a while named News and Current Affairs, before the current affairs bit of the name was ditched) -
There is at least one BBC Newsline (BBC Northern Ireland) reporter who regularly appears wearing a jacket with 'BBC News and Current Affairs' on the front! Can't remember who it is though. The logo is the current BBC one and the text is Gill Sans.
Last time I saw it displayed as a graphic was in the 'lightning' era (before the virtual studio) where news programmes (particularly the Nine and the generic/weekend bulittens)would be credited '/B/B/C/ N E W S A N D C U R R E N T A F F A I R S - (C) BBC [year]', with a small lightning logo beside the /B/B/C/
