And just like that it was over. How sad.

They could have done something subtle, like used one of the old countdowns into the 5pm hour or something.
I know I'm taking it wayyy out of context but the quote in the last package's before the end of the final domestic bulletin kinda teared me up:
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make. I have loved being here with you. Thanks so much, and may we meet again somewhere"
I was not sobbing because of Ken Bruce, I was tearing thinking this as of the super super subtle way of the NC saying goodbye to viewers...

There was a relatively-long countdown into the BBC News at Six just now after the weather (about 65 seconds) which was nice, and could possibly be one of the last times we see it if they are going to be scrapping that shortly.
Edit: I see it’s already been noticed by other posters, I was too slow on the keyboard there!

And national bulletins, especially the Ten, usually provide more in-depth international stories and analysis than those programmes on World. But we all know that World has to air World News America at the time the Ten goes on air…

SBS in Australia takes the Six.
