Given the background noise - could it be the balcony?

Good to see - the capitol should only be used for WNA. However, the newsroom should only be used for front on shots. Side on shots like this should use the white globe with the red ‘news’ text loop as seen on the catwalks.

London newsroom used in Washington is bizarre.

I don't see the point of using an image of the newsroom for the background in Washington or Studio C. Studio C should have a London background more often than the washed out newsroom image.
If they don't want it to be too Washington or London-centric, they could always make composite images with maybe the landmark the city they're broadcasting out of a little more prominent.

Paul Royall on Newswatch this week - there's a lot of the usual "Nothing to see here, we're doing a good job" spin from him about the News Channel. But he does say that next week, we'll be seeing smoother cut aways from the weather bulletins at the end of the News at Ten to Newsnight.

OK this is way better. It proves the point that when you go back to more of the 'synthy' percussive sounds, they actually interact with the pips to make them more musical, instead of the orchestral stuff which just makes them stick out and be annoying.
There's also more of a thought to the kind of energy that you want the viewer to be sitting in with a breakfiller. Sure, it's not likely to get released as a CD like the original 1999 Breakfiller, but it's a hell of a lot better than what was there before.

I think the wooshes and thunderclaps are separate to the music track, and are instead triggered by the playout system. The music hasn't been written (or edited more correctly) to link up with the lengths of the breakfiller sections (again, one of the more incredible parts about the 1999 breakfiller).

The music is composed in standard 4 bar (or 16 pip) phrases, whereas the breakfiller runs in 15 second segments (Headline wipes off, 2 seconds later new one wipes on followed by thunderclap) which means that each time it plays through, the headline thunderclap gets 1 second earlier than the start of the music phrase.
I don't actually mind this as it adds variety to what would quickly feel like a simple loop, though again to harp on the 1999 era, back then the attention to detail was such that the breakfiller music would have also been written in 15 beat segments, and included the change of screen as part of the music composition.

Also, while I like the idea of the wooshes and the thunderclub, I think the actual stock woosh sound they've gone for doesn't really match up with the movement of the visuals. Which is probably why people didn't notice at first that they were corresponding with the image wipes.
