That's the thing with bbc world news or should I say was it’s benefitted from decent theme tunes better then the domestic channel in the UK.

From the newsroom to Studio C: practically a tube-ride away........

I love that the BBC WW Partners excel grid STILL contains some hidden columns that show part of the schedule from somewhen around 2008. Really shows how much attention they are paying to that document.

Question:
How do you access that thing? I've looked at it and can only see what Is there.

If you open in Excel, between Sunday and Monday there are four hidden columns that show Tuesday-Friday of a very old schedule. Highlight columns D and I (as one, not individually), right click on the heading bar and select unhide.

Seems like Newsday will be returning soon to BBC world news. It will be weird to see it without Rico Hizon. However, it will be nice to see it back.

Hi everyone I'm a US viewer of BBC World News. Here the networks can be quite "wordy" when assigning presenter and correspondent titles, like chief foreign correspondent and chief global correspondent at NBC being the same thing. I was checking out Babita Sharma's Twitter page earlier based on the previous post about Newsday returning and noticed she is followed by Tim Willcox and Philippa Thomas. Both credit themselves in their Twitter bios as either BBC News Chief Presenter or BBC Chief News Presenter. I haven't been a viewer for very many years but I know they both are senior presenters so I was curious if these are their official titles that actually signify something to do with their responsibilities or if it is just more to do with their seniority? Thanks and I've enjoyed reading for years both on TV forum and now here.

Yes, they refer to role profiles. Whilst quite broad ranging, the profile for a Chief News Presenter is somewhat different from say a Broadcast Assistant or Journalist.

On air, the titles vary a bit - usually down to how a correspondent has styled themselves (Westminster Correspondent say, instead of the correct 'Political Correspondent').

So: in short. Yes, the titles do have a purpose and in HR terms reflect a pay/responsibility distribution.

Officially the Chief News Presenter is Huw Edwards for the whole BBC with responsibility for major breaking news, election night, royal/state events, international events. But it might be they are senior presenters/relief for Huw say something major happened and Huw was not available.

Also, a source has told be Newsday has been axed, its a friend so can't name them

I hope so. Prefer regular London based WN bulletins overnight.
