International News Presentation: Past and Present

Perhaps the first relaunch we won't be able to cover here on TV Forum...

VRT's Het Journaal in Belgium is relaunching on Monday, April 5th. Het Journaal has had some brilliant looks over the years, including it's 2008 look which is still one of my favourites.

Here's the current look, which debuted in 2018. This was a slight tweak to the 2016 look...



And here's a report on the new look, from Friday. They're spending just over a week in a temporary set, so looks like the Furio cameras will remain.

International News Presentation: Past and Present

Historic evening in the Flemish speaking regions of Belgium as Martine Tanghe presented her last 'Het Journaal' on VRT after 42 years.

She ended with the words she's used at the end of most bulletins, 'Thank you for being with us.'

'I will miss you. Keep safe, hold on, and everything will be alright.'

This clip shows her sign-off, and the following broadcast which saw her reunited with her grandson. Hard to imagine any British news presenter getting such a goodbye!



From a branding perspective, VRT still has one of the smartest looks in Europe, IMO!
