Shame they've not acquired bbcworldnews.com or bbcworldnews.co.uk
I guess they'll be directing people to bbcworld.com and bbcnews.com as usual then? Hardly a good branding exercise, is it? Your website is still in your old channel's name!

Which is a very appealing name. Also, Your World Today sounds much better than The World Today.

Ooh no. Your World Today makes me cringe. The World Today is much better. YWT is a typical American programme name whereas TWT is much more understated and British.

That'd be the personal pronoun at play, then.
What do we think the DOG for BBC World will look like after the rebrand? With suggestions that on-screen architecture is staying the same, will "BBC World News" look any good on it?

Maybe the DOG will simply carry BBC... with the channel idents carrying BBC World News and the news bulletins carrying BBC News titles.

The more I think about it, "BBC World News" actually makes more sense these days, with BBC Worldwide's portfolio of channels - BBC Entertainment, Lifestyle, Knowledge and indeed America. They all do what they say on the tin.
I wonder if they considered BBC News International? That way they could have built the "BBC News" brand even more... mind you, you couldn't have people start dropping the BBC with that name!

The title 'The World Today' dates back to at least 1995 on BBC World, well before CNN's Your World Today. If anything, CNN copied the BBC. During the 1990s, BBC World also had such programmes as Newsday, Newsdesk, The World Report, Newshour - they have a long tradition of these flagship programmes.

YOUR WORLD TODAY is much better. BBC is trying to make a flagship programe by mixing those words but all they end up is a big confusion. I don't even know how many combinations they have.

Yeah, I've never quite got the point of switching from bbcnews.com to bbc.com/news: they both redirect to news.bbc.co.uk!
