In regards of protests in Egypt, you may have seen some footage from Egyptian news bulletin at least once. Well, that look was designed by Luxlotusliner, a German agency who also designed Arte Info and everyone's amazed Polsat News.

Found how aston works, but couldn't find opening headlines.

And, a shocking fact:

Some of you may have seen my post in the 'Vintage/Current News Presentation' thread. In it, I mentioned that VTM News in Belgium is launching its new look on Monday. Today, newspapers over there are printing images of the new studio - and it reminds me a little of ITV News, but with a better design ... obviously Very Happy

If only ITV could do something like this...

The new look did launch on Monday. It's been well received mostly. I do like the music despite it being a less authoritive tune. The studio is okay, but I'm not sure whether its any better than the previous one.

Heres the 1pm Bulletin:

It was BDA who designed ITV News' current look and Het Nieuws' new look.

Interestimg. I definitely see the similarities between VTM's and ITV's sets. I wonder if the virtual set introduced by Germany's Sat1 a few years ago was designed by the same company. It's not mentioned on that website, but it bears a strong resemblance to ITV's virtual set:

A comparison (ITV1 above, Sat1 below):

I'm also not surprised that BDA worked on both the BBC's sets and Denmark's TV2 -- I've mentioned how BBC-like TV2 looks:

Meanwhile, Australia's Nine Network introduced a 5PM weekend newscast in a surprise move today -- a time slot occupied by Ten's weekend news until last week:

CITY-TV, Toronto, Canada, 1992 -- among other things, this look served as a model for both the original incarnation of Channel 5 News and Channel M in the UK:

Staying in Canada, but switching to more conventional news presentation, here's CBC's The National , 1984 -- preceded by a news promo for local Toronto station CBLT:

Just as the world's attention is focused on Cairo's Tahrir Square today, the whole world was watching Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. Here's Slovenian TV news from May 1989 with coverage of those protests (Slovenia was still a part of Yugoslavia in 1989, but it had its own TV news since 1968):

By the way, the main anchor you saw in this clip...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/az2si/f6ce328c.jpg

...is still a popular anchor in Slovenia, but on commercial station POP TV. Here is a clip of him on POP TV's news in 2008:

Antena 3 and TVE are just a bunch of liers... Don't know how many times I've seen there news program and what they have said doesn't happen. Cuatro and Telecinco are the true ones!

last November, RBS TV (the collective name of the Rede Globo affiliates in the southern Brazilian states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) has relaunched its midday newscasts, both called "Jornal do Almoço" ("[The] Lunch[time] News") (the Rio Grande do Sul edition, in fact, is Brazil's first lunchtime newscast):

Rio Grande do Sul edition (aired statewide):
November 22nd (relaunch edition, open and close): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqTSH7CtOLU

1. Sobytiya is a name of the newscast on the TV channel called Ukrayina in Ukraine. Its most recent graphic is designed by Luxlotusliner, famous(?) for their works on Egyptian state TV, Arte and Polsat News.
Arrow http://luxlotusliner.de/#/sobytiya_news/

On 27 January 2011, they introduced a new studio, which is quite better than the old ones.
Arrow The last main bulletin from the old studio: http://novosti.kanalukraina.tv/ua/sobytiya/8293_sobytiya__sr_26_01_11_19_00/
Arrow From the new studio, the 5 pm bulletin: http://novosti.kanalukraina.tv/ua/sobytiya/8295_sobytiya__cht_27_01_11_17_00/
Arrow The 7 pm bulletin: http://novosti.kanalukraina.tv/ua/sobytiya/8299_sobytiya__cht_27_01_11_19_00/
Arrow For most recent bulletins: http://novosti.kanalukraina.tv/ua/sobytiya/

2. I found what is likely the official YouTube channels of Egyptian state TV's news bulletins and their morning show, as well as their official website, www.enc.eg , where you can see the full programme. Through this, I found how the headline sequences would look like. But I don't know how to get their English and French language bulletins.

(3. And I'm looking for a spoof of BBC News website's keyboard drums promo that includes lots of bombing scenes so making BBC journalists the terrorists. I saw that clip on YouTube but I can't find it right now. Also what I'm looking for is the same original promo, but after 2008 BBC News rebrand, different endboard. Moreover, is that music an original to that promo?)

(4. Finally, looking for the opening headlines of RTR Vesti in 2000 and ZDF Heute right before 2001)

EDIT: JOJ's Noviny , before (1, 2) and after (1, 2)
