message: This article describes Newsround as:
The first such programme ever produced by British television, it drew on the full journalistic resources of the BBC, and featured a number of news scoops, it being the first news programme of the day on TV in its early years
This is an ambiguous claim.  With regard to the phrase "TV in its early years", television news programmes were being aired by BBC before Craven was born! As to "first news programme of the day" I recall watching Newsround as a schoolchild but it was a "tea time" special which seemed aimed at children who had returned home from the school day. More specific reference to what the timing was would be useful, as this was 1970s - pre-breakfast television era - when I watched it. It does not just need a citation but a rewrite to make it read less ambiguously.Cloptonson (talk) 15:27, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I read "it being the first news programme of the day on TV in its early years" as referring to Newsround's early years. I'm not sure how true that is, though - certainly by 1976 the BBC had a lunchtime news programme (either at 12.45 or 1 p.m., I can't remember which, but our student TV service used to time its programmes around it). -- Arwel Parry (talk) 18:23, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
