When it did not come to be in the interim month, a natural assumption followed that this related to a new channel, not to an interim.
Apparently I did! That came directly from an email sent by management before piloting started.
I haven't been involved in the piloting for quite a few weeks now but in the early stages of pilots there was definitely a mini headline sequence (basically a one liner for the top three or four stories - essentially what you see on the News website - a few words to sum up the story - "Prominent Russian blogger killed in St Petersburg cafe bombing"). Aim was to be done with the headlines in 30 seconds or so and start reading the first cue by XX:00:30.
Whether that's changed in the course of piloting I don't know.
