Along with other members here I have mentioned Martine Croxhall's name checking of the BBC News Channel and the fact it's only appears to her doing it. I've just watched a trail for 'The Year In Review' and low and behold the BBC News Channel is name checked rather than BBC News. So there really does appear to be no set uniform as yet.

Would be interested to hear if the trail airing on BBC World is channel specific or BBC News only.

Both BBC News and the BBC News channel have been valid since 2008 - it's always been officially called BBC News, but has often been verbally called the BBC News channel when simply BBC News sounds clunky or confusing (i.e., when referenced on other channels or to distinguish from e.g., the BBC News website).

Yes, but with the merger on the horizon the use of BBC News Channel when name checking. TOTH or other  by presenters has all but gone with only Croxall continuing todo so. The other main presenters such as Gosling, McVeigh, Brown and Hill never refer to the NC anymore. it was just interesting to hear a trail using the words. The channel is on as background noise most days so I noticed it as soon as it was said. I can't think of any other instance where a promo uses the full name of the channel. It would surely make sense for a channel that's going to be called BBC News to run generic trails across both channels as is the case most of the time. (cost cutting surely) ;-)
