A new countdown is revealed on the UK feed of the BBC News Channel coming out of Breakfast. The timer is notably absent, unknown whether this is a one-off or...

I have this on most of the day, I’ve seen this a few times.

    Is BBC news channel localised internally? I thought it was just on the mainline channels for things like the evening news.
