Behind the Scenes=

The channel was known as "BBC News 24" from its launch. During the first two series of Doctor Who, and the first series of Torchwood, the channel's full name was displayed on screen, however from Series 3 onwards the BBC logo was dropped resulting in the channel simply being known as "News 24".

In the real world BBC News 24 was rebranded as BBC News in April 2008. The channel's appearance in The Stolen Earth and subsequent appearances reflect this, with the "24" also being dropped to give the channel the name of "News" on-air.

It regains its former name of "BBC News 24" by 2012 for coverage of the Olympics.
