BBC News Channel 2008 countdown, 90 second version, plus hold

November 15, 2008

This happened live on air, on the BBC News Channel, leading up to the simulcast BBC News at Ten.  Because Children In Need on BBC1 was overrunning, the whole countdown was played, even the whole 30 seconds of hold at the end of the countdown, which is not usually seen at all.

Stay tuned.  More to come from Ident City

TVNZ One News openers through the day

November 10, 2008

A little journey through the day on TVNZ’s TV One.  First off, Breakfast.

Breakfast runs from 6.30am to 9am.  Next, One News at Midday, and from here on in, all the opens will look very similar.

Next, One News First at 4:30.  4:30pm seems to be quite a popular time for a bulletin in Australia and New Zealand, but less so in the US, Canada and Europe.

Just an hour after that bulletin finishes, the main evening news programme airs.  One News at 6.

At about 8.30pm there is a quick One News Update, and this is what it looks like.

Finally, at some time around 11pm, though this varies, here’s One News Tonight.

The One News bulletins at 12pm, 4.30pm and 6pm, plus the TVNZ 7 News at 8pm are streamed live online at http://www.onenews.co.nz.

TVNZ 7 News at 8pm

November 10, 2008

TVNZ 7 has a special hour long 8pm news programme.  It’s bascially an updated version of TVNZ’s One News at 6pm.  I’ll dig out the current One News open, for my next post so you can see how similar they are.  But here’s TVNZ News at 8pm.
