Is this replacing wbr or something?


Yes - It is replacing the 08:45 UK time edition of World Business Report - a full half hour of business news from 08:30 UK time.

No, this program is on air from 8:30am UK time for half an hour. Before Victoria LIVE begins in the UK.


As above - it IS replacing an edition of World Business Report.

But this is the News Channel thread. So technically it isn't.

Well what a disappointing branding I think...

(as seen on Ben Thomson's twitter)

I believe the program begins on BBC World on the 30th March.



Disappointing? it's on brand and fits perfectly with other business bits and pieces they do.

A change to the background with a 'dawn' in London on BBC World for TWT slot most probably.

Shown on the new Business Live from Monday.

Well given World Business Report doesn't air on the News Channel except at 05:30, some three hours earlier, I would suggest that the question was referring to BBC World News.

Looking nice. First background change since the big revamp.

Nice background. I like it better than the washed out look they previously used. Nice job.

Not seen them do this for a long long time - breaking news Aston over another report. They usually just use the ticker nowadays:

Seems to be a policy decision now if a major non-domestic story occurs the News channel throws to World immediately. Not sure whether this is ;compliant' with its remit.

World now leading the story from C on UK and World and Two with Adnam and Aaron.

BBC Two switched to a feed from C with no DOG or ticker, World and news channel still have both
