I'm fairly sure I saw a breaking news sting during the 2008-13 period. By the way, the official name for them is a PIDLE sting - Programme Interruption Device Live Event. A decade or so ago they used to have two - Breaking News and Live Coverage.
There was a PIDLE during the 2008-13 look? I don't think i've seen it on World.


TV Live has caps of a PIDLE for BBC WN between 08 and 13 here. You'll have to scroll down a little bit.

I note that some hours, you get World News America at :30. I suppose this is just a repeat of World News America from 5pm ET/EDT?

I didn't realize there are WNA newscasts at :30 other than the one at 5pm ET because I tend to watch other things exactly at those hours. I assume they're repeats but I'll take a look and see if I remember to.

Those :30 WNA bulletins are repeats of the one at 5:30pm ET as far as I can tell since the two at 5pm ET, while both are live, are extremely identical.

BBCWN now spots a Breaking News ident that flashes right before a breaking news.

What does this look like? Is there any screenshots?


Here's the screen grab guys! Just got of Impact yesterday. It uses the same music sting as the last 1-2 seconds of the bottom-of-the-hour news summary thunderclap.

BBC World News is now using countdowns that have inserted footage from Brazil (helicopter view of Christ the Redeemer statue and a time lapse of a city skyline) and soccer/football stadiums into them. These countdowns have the 'Live the Story' slogan underneath the BBC World News logo. Also, the video quality seems different and the digital timer has a different 'glow' to them.

Are we getting confused between a sting interrupting pre-recorded programming and a sting within the bulletin before a strap comes on? Like that was introduced on News 24 in 2003?


Ah yes, I see what you mean. It used to be called a Breaking News Splash back then so I assume this is still the correct term?

Noticed on 4.8e bbc world news hd has arrived but it's not for the public and heavily encrypted some interesting British channels on that transponder including img sports media sports channel for ships Sport 24.

That Breaking News sting is hor-hor-hor-horendous. It's almost overwhelming with so many elements and patterns on-screen at once.

It looks great to me although not seen it on screen needs to make it to domestic news channel ASAP!

it is on screen for maybe 3-5 secs at the most. It is a shame it doesn't transition nicely on and off screen, but it is a sting just like these ones from the past.

What does the RedBee pres suite for World actually do? I had assumed that they play out the back half hour recorded programmes, but seeing the ticker suggests it's actually coming from a news gallery at BH.

Or does the pres output come back to BH for the ticker to be added downstream?

I would imagine they handle the advert breaks in different regions. The breakfiller possibly. But with the ability for the news galleries to break into it with the ticker etc.
