International News Presentation: Past and Present

Haven't seen the early ones before. Anyway back when I started getting interested with M6 in the late 2000s I found the first M6 logo to be scary.

Because of a a fire in WDR's building in Cologne, this morning's ARD Morgenmagazin was broadcast from the studio of Aktuelle Stunde, WDR's regional newscast:





And this is CityNews Winnipeg:

To those unfamiliar, the studio they broadcast from is in Dusseldorf, approx 40km away.

Thanks for the clarification!

With the German federal election being just around the corner, here's a short compilation of the Chancellor candidate TV debate openers:


Also including Peter Kloeppel, the long time RTL Aktuell anchor.

Here's a short article about the latest TV debate: http://www.newscaststudio.com/2017/09/04/germans-merkel-schulz-meet-das-tv-duell/

The Telejournal logo seems to be a variation of the CBC logo.

Reminds me of this video of an overnight edition of Heute, with no images (just the newsreader reading from a script) and a very interesting approach to a two-way with a correspondent...





Newsreader doesn't quite get it and greets her colleagues in Cologne...

I'm struggling to find the videos, but the exact opposite happened recently (on 28 July to be exact). A powercut to the Dusseldorf studio of Aktuelle Stunde meant that it could not broadcast, and the later edition of WDR Aktuell moved to the Morgenmagazin studio in Cologne. Lucky that WDR still has the two studio complexes, because it's come in rather handy (I believe the ultimate aim is to consolidate into one).

Today's national portion of 19/20 from France 3, with extensive coverage of the destruction left behind by Hurricane Irma in the French Caribbean (which is as much a part of France as, say, Grenoble):

1ére Guadeloupe 13h special edition from Sept 6 2017 as Hurricane Irma strikes.

And here's yesterday's evening news from ABS, a television station from Antigua and Barbuda (a state that was hit by hurricane Irma too).

And here's the news from Our TV in the Bahamas as that country prepares for Irma:



From Australia, ABC's The World, 2017:

TV3 Malaysia's news programmes have their openers, lower third graphics and studio background (only for Buletin Utama) refreshed and now broadcast in widescreen (16:9 safe) instead of the perpetual 4:3 since 1 September. However TV3 news has already been produced in HD (downconvert to 4:3 for viewers) since the original studio upgraded to HD in October 2012. Newsgathering cameras are in HD since last March or April. TV3's on-screen graphics have been upgraded to 16:9 safe anamorphic last month.

While the previous (June 2015 to August 2017) was a copy of RTL Nieuws of the Netherlands (criticised for being plagarised and TV3 has taken a deaf ear about it), the new one is an MRT train crossing Kuala Lumpur.

Although an MRT station is located next to Sri Pentas (TV3's studios at Bandar Utama), the station is not mentioned in the station map seen in the opener. (see first link below) The routemap is not the same as the real one. (see second link below)

The opener is at 0:29; preceeded by headlines



Here's the opener from 20 years ago where Sri Pentas is the focus of the opener (actually it's from a report on the opening of Sri Pentas):
