The BBC World News Thread

That started 30 October 2017 so it's been a while, I've certainly not noticed him before.

Someone posted this tweet of this image of Lucy with a logo on top, do we think this is the Live logo? I'm not so sure because its Lucy in front of the old Impact studio

@LucyHockingsBBC, @bbcgmt, @BBCWorld, @Xfinity

We’re confused.

Can some or all of you please work on this apparent discrepancy?

We missed all of yesterday’s GMT bc of the problem. DVR was set to record GMT but it disappeared from the lineup replaced by “Live w/Lucy Hockings”. pic.twitter.com/N1yZbhQpiu

I wouldn't necessarily take that as gospel for anything - Virgin Media has all sorts of weird and wonderful branding on their show tumbnails.

I think this is because those thumbnails are made by TiVo in America, which is why US shows get nice thumbnails with the proper logos, and a lot of UK ones, well, don’t.

Exactly. That twitter screenshot was taken from a users account in Texas. So obviously she was recording either BBC World or BBC America on a US TiVo (non Virgin) box in Texas.

Seen this video uploaded the Youtube today of today's Impact.
I noticed they are in Studio C, and I thought Impact is normally in Studio B? could it be because of rehearsals for Lucy's program?

Correct.

Is today the day for the new Lucy Hockings show?

Cameras at the ready?

That screenshot is from xfinity’s X1 platform and appears here in Baltimore. It appears when you are scrolling through the guide.

I have no idea who does the program show logos but for example the on the info page for The View, has a proper logo but on the shows info page has the old cohost promotional picture.

TiVo is still showing GMT on their guide here in Baltimore complete with a promotional headshot of George Alagiah with text in Gill Sans saying “GMT with George Alagiah”.

Edit: Scrolling through the X1 guide they have the logos mostly right most in Reith. Two exceptions is a pre-Reith logo for Beyond 100 Days on top of a promotional photo of Katty Kay from the launch of WNA and a similar one for Outside Source with Ros..

Here’s what appears on screen on X1 (via the X1 app - the TV look is mostly the same) when you look at “series info” with promotional photos:

The View:


Live with Lucy Hockings:



A proper view of the made up logo from the iPad guide which mostly matches the on screen guide:

Seemingly not. GMT as usual today.

The synopsis in that EPG really needs some copy editing. "Lucy Hockings takes heads"!?

Found this while scrolling through the BBC World News schedules online...
