What is the music used for the intro to this video? I've heard it in other places before and can't find it.

That is library music from EMI. I use it for radio news bulletins.

Heard that in Malaysia too

Beginning on 15 August, TVB in Hong Kong will turn its J5 channel into a business news channel (the channel's Chinese name will also change), which the company advertises as the first and only free-to-air business channel in Hong Kong. I wonder what will happen to the Putonghua (Mandarin) news bulletin (which moved from TVB Pearl to J5 last year), though.

On the same day, TVB iNews on DTT will also be replaced. But I wonder if the change will also affect the TVB News channel available on Now TV and broadcast outside Hong Kong. Will the interactive TV feature on DTT iNews remain even after the change?
(I noticed that TVB iNews was on MyTV Super OTT television which replaced TVB's now defunct satellite TV service, TVB Network Vision, but not the TVB News channel. So I thought there would be something.)

Simply amazing how many European broadcasts use similar red and white globes and beeps and boops heart-monitor music. SO when you see something different it really stand outs.
Like the entire look and sound of NRK Nyheter by Royksopp

Some interesting early '90s technology (including an original Macintosh PowerBook!) in this 1993 promo for CNN International's business programming:

Does anyone remember which European channel had a interesting video wall where as the camera moved the perspective of the graphics on it changed? For some reason I can't stop thinking of it.

World Business Today and Business Day? They didn't stretch their imagination too far when it came to the show names did they.

Still more imagination than 'Business Live' Smile

TV 2 Denmark?



I think when I mentioned this previously, someone pointed out the BBC used similar technology during it's Scottish referendum night coverage (perhaps elsewhere too?).

ARD's Tagesschau also has a similar effect, albeit far more subtle.



The effect is a little more obvious on Tagesthemen

Yep - Tagesschau has it, and the BBC used some nice jib/crane tracking tech to drive a Viz engine which was projected but generated perspective based on camera position on its referendum coverage.

Controversial view, love the Tagesthemen theme better than the Tagesschau one.

The new Jornal Nacional set (as seen a few pages back) has this effect, too.
