Thanks! Yes, that's the branding I remember! Seems like eons ago now of course.

I think the fact that BBC News Online stories keep their original branding is true of pretty much all stories until the 2010 relaunch, isn't it?

I suspect they would have wanted to launch the channel for the election, but it wouldn't really matter as very few could watch until the launches of DSAT and DTT in autumn 1998.

The Politics 97 site is, remarkably, still online:
www.bbc.co.uk/politics97 

Its predecessors, the pages from the 95 and 96 budgets and the 97 election were still accessible until a few years ago, and there's a bit of a write-up of them here:

Another elderly survivor is the pages of On the Record, which includes transcripts of their interviews right back to 1992

And the OTR site is proof that even in 1997 they couldn't get the corporate/directorate logotype correct!

I've wondered previously why the One O'Clock News studio would be used for the Nicholas Witchell updates, rather than the newsroom that's used otherwise?

My recollection (not cast-iron) was it was the opposite side of the Breakfast News studio, so presumably, if they were coming in to start the night shift and felt the need to have different "streams" for One and Two (with programmes starting and ending at different times), then it would've made sense to fire up the morning studio early in order to achieve that.

Just an educated guess.
