Has this become the largest thread on any of the forums Confused ?

Asa, you should start a record book, and have different records from all of the forums (highest amount of pages etc) Razz:

The BBC News 24 Ident just went out on BBC World!! The News 24 gallery must have been controlling the BBC News Special at 2100, and they played the News 24 vamp followed by the ident!! The 1700 one was done by the gallery of BBC World.


I was gonna suggest that BBC News 24 and BBC World just merge their damn outputs (I'm in sort of a crabby mood today) to save money, but then I realized that BBC World is a commerical channel.

I would rather see BBC News 24 if I was a British person living in another country.


Which is why I think BBC World should have a 30 minute programme dedicated to British News.

There was a BBC News special that I saw this morning (afternoon in the UK) in a studio that I've never seen before. There were plasma screens lined up all across the wall: two of them paused at the start of the BBC World News titles, one paused at the end with 'special' added to it, and two others had correspondents on there. Which studio was that?

I'm not sure, can you describe it any more? Who was presenting from it? Was it at 1200 GMT (or whatever!)

I was at 1430 GMT that it was on. That's all I remember. And the table wasn't a wood panel one, it was a plastic looking one.

That could been the liquid news studio, as they dont adopt the curent bbc news look. Unless this was a special from Washington then im baffled as mch as you are

I dunno if anyone mentioned it yet, but during BBC World's coverage of Bush's address, they showed a wide view of their Washington studio, which looked quite nice.

And last night they showed their astons en espanol again. Interesting... I didn't know 'primetime' in Spanish was 'Casa Blanca.' (Or does it mean something else?) but then I dunno much about Spanish... Razz:

was it a show with Brian Hanrahan and guests. If so it was the Liquid News studio which is being used for different programmes at the moment (like Asia Today) etc.
