International News Presentation: Past and Present

(Please let me know if someone has already posted this!)
From South Korea, SBS 8 NEWS (SBS8뉴스), the main news program of Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), rebranded at the beginning of February 2017 with new graphics and a renovated studio.

News intros from Africa tend to be relatively rare in this thread, so here's a miniature compilation from that continent:

It has never been mentioned before here.

About the last sentence, it's more like Australia's SBS Worldwatch and Japan's NHK BS1 World News. TVB Pearl only air NBC Nightly News.

Also it seems that ViuTV News on ViuTV6 is very different (in terms of theme music, opener and graphics) than Now News from Now News Channel which airs on ViuTV but without the Now News ticker graphics (ViuTV and Now TV are owned by the same company). The way ViuTV News start producing news before the launch of ViuTV6 is more like TRT World before launch.

ViuTVsix actually airs the aforementioned news bulletins. You can check its electronic program guide here: https://viu.tv/epg/96
ViuTV News simulcasts with Now News Channel since they are both Cantonese channels. Now News basically takes charge of ViuTV News.
ViuTVsix News has different intros and graphics from ViuTV News because Reuters produces the local news programs for the channel.

Well, I've been waiting to read the schedule for ViuTV96 but have been reading the ViuTV instead...

Off topic, but reading the schedule, the overnight programming on ViuTV is Driving in Hong Kong while ViuTV6 just closedown instead. I wonder what ViuTV6 does during downtime?

TVQ-0 (now TVQ-10); Brisbane, Australia, 1987:



Three (formerly TV3), New Zealand, 2017:

Yesterday (Friday 31 March) a news operation closed up shop. XETV a Tijuana based television station that broadcast in English and targeted San Diego since its sign on in 1953 aired its last newscast. The station recently lost its afffiliation of The CW to competitor KFMB (where it will be a subchannel) and the management decided to go to a Spanish language format. Officially the CW affiliation doesn't end until May 31 but they decided to close up the news division early.





The station overcame some big obstacles. Because they were not an American station the FCC prevented them from receiving and transmitting network programming live. So up until the 1990s the network programming was received in the US, recorded on tape and courriered to master control in Mexico. In the 1990s they got a waiver from the FCC to broadcast live programming (mainly because of their Fox affiliation and the networks NFL contract). All of their business operations and studios were based in the US while master control and the transmitter are based in Mexico.

Additionally competiting stations bought ad inventory on XETV in the final week:

A few months ago, the regional* news bulletins of the VGTRK (Russian State Broadcaster) adopted the look which was already in place for all the other news operations of the VGTRK.

Depending on the technical abilities of the regional studios, the look was adapted in slightly different ways, but otherwise it looks neat.

A full edition of Vesti-Sochi (they undoubtedly have more money than in Riazan)


I remembered there is (or used to be) a Russian regional newscast in a language whick looked like Azerbaijani. I think the name was "xəbərlər" but I cannot find any of those bulletins, strangely.

*except in Moscow where they already had their intro coherent with the new look for a long time, although in their own particular style.

NNN News Sunday, Nippon TV (opener, weather and closer):


Nippon TV shares news resources with Korea's SBS since SBS launched. Nippon TV has a bureau in Seoul.
