Finally no panel on Sumi's overnight show at 2am! She just had one pundit to interview on two separate topics. The rest of the half-hour is your good old news bulletin. Mariko Oi made a reappearance as well in her role as a correspondent.

Whoever did the DOG for Christian's special report, did they not know what channel the report will air on?
How come the DOG in a report to be broadcast on BBC News overlaps with the BBC News traditional lower thirds (identity + ticker)?

Or was the original intention to show the thing on Panorama or Newsnight?

Returning to Christian Fraser's investigation, I noticed that whoever edited it together, apparently was aware to some extent of the lower thirds. When a piece of interview from another outlet with hard burnt-in subtitles was shown, they actually letterboxed it, so the subtitles did not get overlapped by the white ticker (though still overlapped by the semi-transparent upper stripe).


So, it seems to be a consient decision not to put its own DOG too high and let it overlap with a semi-transparent part of the lower-thirds.

The remaining question is - why? It runs for almost 15 minutes (The Context later had a short discussion), did not appear on Newsnight, so The Context is the only place they have shown it...

Also, for the record, the main part of the presentation in this investigation was done in Studio B, not as a documentary-style voice-over.

UPD. Regarding both topics above - Christian's report was actually repeated in full (!) in the 3am DC bulletin
