BBC News 14 January 2008. The retirement of Peter Sissons and departure of Michael Buerk from the "Ten O'Clock News" led to changes in the BBC One bulletin presenting team on 20 January 2003. The "Six O'Clock News" became double headed with George Alagiah and Sophie Raworth after Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce moved to present the "Ten". A new set design featuring a projected fictional newsroom backdrop was introduced, followed on 16 February 2004 by new programme titles to match those of BBC News 24. BBC News 24 and BBC World introduced a new style of presentation in December 2003, that
BBC News presentation seconds and was a remixed variation of the news theme. As the countdown reached five seconds, a beep accompanied each second in a similar fashion to the BBC Pips; this was used as an inspiration to the news theme. On the occasions that BBC World simulcast with BBC News 24, a generic BBC News graphic, used for the generic bulletins on BBC Television, was used instead of the normal news graphic. To accompany the new look, BBC World swapped sets with BBC News 24, so that BBC World now used thusemall newsroom that had been used previously by News 24.
