I may as well mention this here, its happened a couple of times this week and it seems odd to me.

During the morning shift (Lyse or Mike) has handed over to Aaron for the business news as usual. Then half way through the business news Aaron has stopped and said "This is BBC World". Then the generic (overnight) sting played without the BBC NEWS logo and into a break. No hand back to Lyse / Mike, just flopping out of the bulletin with this sting.

This sting was then played again and Lyse popped up carrying on the bulletin.

Had Lyse suddenly been struck with a sudden bout of diarrhea and was unable to link into a break herself??


lol, no diarrhea, thats for sure. The generic sting is put to use so BBC America can opt out for commercials. How do I know this? well the exact same bulletin was rebroadcasted 30 mins later on a PBS Station and since they show the complete bulletin, after the sting was shown, Aaron continued on with more business news.

I have a capture given to me by Re-it-er-ate from TWT. Its a "coming up" clip and since TWT is broadcasted both on News 24 and World, viewers on World wouldnt be interested in UK News so they use the sting and opt out and we see Adrian Finnigan go on with programme. I have the clip if anyone is interested.

Something else ive just noticed is the glorious new BBC World promo.

Clips of Tim Sebastion, Jeremy Clarkson etc. something along the lines of "a complex word requires specialist thinking...our programmes allow you to just do that".

Very nice - as usual! Accompanies that rope in the numerous hands very well!

I saw a similar promo on BBC America. It was called "BBC News:Making sense of it all." Featured kate Adie & jeremy bowen.

Re-it-er-ate, see if you can get a capture. I thought the promo was well put together.

The Big strap was back a few minutes ago ... and they were too late !!
When the breakfiller ended and faded away, they forgot to turn it off!!
The strap stayed on just a few seconds during the BBC World ident before 'Explorations' started!!

Anyone saw it too?

This is the 5:00 bulletin, and normally they would hand over to whoever presented the 0:00-5:00 simulcast from the News 24 studio, but at the moment they're not doing this because the simulcast is coming from the World studio too.
