BBC World has been pretty poor in its coverage of the region.

It makes sense really to quickly check your script before going live, plus you almost have to do something at the TOTH as there is always an awkward 2 or 3 second pause between cutting to the studio at the end of the countdown and the cue to start.
I was watching a video of German (or possibly Czech) news intros the other day, some of their intros they have two presenters standing in the studio, dimly lit as there is a countdown, for 10-20 seconds. Having to look as if they are talking about something before the intro. Talk about awkward!
