Hi! I created this thread so people can judge what is the best News presentation.

Here are the categories:

Best Ident
Best Countdown
Best Promo
Best Studio
Best Breakfiller
Best Titles
Best Sting (Into Break & From Break)

So this will be my judgement:

Best Ident = BBC World 7sec (Present)
Best Countdown = BBC News 24 (1999 - 2003)
Best Promo = Sky News (Present)
Best Studio = BBC News 24 (1999 - 2001?)
Best Breakfiller = BBC World (Present)
Best Titles = BBC Newyddion (Present)
Best Sting = BBC World (Present)
TE
TELEVISION
I liked the BBC News studio 2001-2003 best, and the ITV News theme tune of 1999-2004 - but not the titles.

Best Ident? BBC World 5sec fast ident 2003-
Best Countdown? BBC World 2001-2003
Best Promo? ITV News, for over 50 years ITV news has been there.
Best Studio? ITV News
Best Breakfiller? BBC World 2001-2003 The David Lowe Mix
Best Titles? ITN News At Ten 1980's
they had the most impact in my opinion and are the definition of what News is about in the UK.
Possibly only BBC News At Nine titles from late80's to early90's may be just as good, the transmitter mast titles.
Best Sting? ITV News Channel

And Some more!!
Best use of CG? ITV News
Best News Music? BBC News by David Lowe
Best local news titles? BBC Spotlight 1999
Most Impact? BBC News transmitter mast titles.
Best Astons? BBC News24 2000-2002 purple!
Best Overall look? BBC World 2001-2003
Best Special News titles. BBC Points West concorde special
Best Presenter. Lyse Doucet Laughing
BN
Breakfast News
My views are:

Best Ident : Sky News 2002

Best Countdown : BBC News 24 1999

Best Promo: ITV News, 50 years thing

Best Studio: Newsnight and Newsnight Review

Best Titles: Breakfast News 1997-2000, albeit not very newsy, quite nice all the same. Oh and Breakfast, from 2000. Nice titles with suitable music for that time of the morning. Corporate, but not as brash as current version. 1 more PLEASE! BBC Nine O'Clock News fishfingers. great music, and impressive graphics for 1985.
