I hope they drop the ‘in the uk and around the world’ intros soon they’re quite annoying

No DOG on WN:

WBR has been re-implementing headline lower-thirds in the intro sequence:

Red light box but there are new blue graphics on the curved panel in front of the desk:

Lightboxes have now switched to blue mid-interview.

That's her usual shift. I wouldn't be surprised if we generally see the World presenters as normal for much of this month (barring rehearsals for the new channel).

Must have been a glitch then. Nice to see the business branding present on the NC at long last.

There was a suggestion that the World presenters will be out of air for much of this month due to these rehearsals. Not sure now if this is going to be true.

UPD. Just noticed that there was a little crash-in by the NC into the WBR by muting out the Travel Show promo few seconds short of its final (yet in the middle of last sentence).

How many rehearsals do experienced presenters need? Can’t imagine more than about 15-20 hours.

I expect that you'll have a mix of both World and NC presenters for the next month. Even though the World presenters will be doing rehearsals for new formats, they won't be any every day affair and I wouldn't imagine it's particularly important for them to take place at the same time as they'd be on air. From what I recall of the rehearsal periods ahead of the move to NBH, there was not a huge amount of disrupted presenter shifts.

Lucy briefly mentioned the Breaking News about Wayne Couzens sentencing after the headlines, and she sort of gave a brief explanation about that person for viewers overseas. She redirects everyone to the BBC News live page for the latest update.

But how do you explain what is 'Old Bailey' to people overseas, like England's criminal court or something?

Yeah I was just about to post this: It was very awkward while Hockings tried to tread the balance catering to both audiences. 

She opened the hour with that Breaking News continued explaining the story and indeed acknowledging to the global audience of why it is so relevant to the UK audience. No live cross to the correspondent, into Turkey at 12.06.

It all seems very jarring on BBC News channel. I just wonder how long they can give this a go before people switch off and move to at least Sky News?
