RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Andrew - 06-03-2023
Is it normal for there to be a 20 minute random item about guide dogs at 10:40pm that just came on without any introduction about why it was being aired?

It was like a public information film. Why can't they opt back into World after BBC News at Ten? I guess they would be crashing into something mid-broadcast.

That item has been shown several times lately.
Meanwhile, Sport Today (from the new set) was shown on WN, however the presenter called it Sportsday.
Why two different names but still so similar? Sport Today and Sportsday. It makes no sense to me.
I guess this will change from April.

What happened here? An empty desk shown with the correct related image for the upcoming story behind it. Something to do with the rehearsals perhaps?

And then an piece to camera about refugee crossings in the channel from Chris Mason introduced as being from David Wallace Lockhart.
(Sorry for the lack of proper capture, was just about to go to bed when it happened)

I often have a news channel on in the background, and my office has both BBC and Sky News on TVs. I've become quite accustomed to just glancing at a TV when I want to know the time. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Would it be the end of the world if they took it away? No. Would I miss it? Yes.

Don't know if that'll be the case after April.

They showed footage. It looked like match footage but I guess it was from after the game.
Sport Today started at 1043 on WN, just a few minutes after Sportsday on NC ended.
They look identical, same new set, same presenter, similar content but different names.
Use mostly the same script, even forgot to change Sportsday to Sport Today in the closing segment.

Overnights again come from Studio E, despite OS and The Context apparently coming from Studio C (although no wide shots were shown so thoeretically could have been A or some other studio, I guess. However, metallic handrail behind Christian kind of gives it away that this was Studio C, after all.) News ticker on the NC is UK-specific this night.

I kinda feel the same for a long time, because the only difference between Sports Today and Sportsday was the former do not have the rights to broadcast clips from another channel... despite the fact that CNN International airs sports clips from BBC, Sky Sports, BT Sport and others.
