BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

Are the regions launching their new look today?

Yes

Excuse my ignorance, so wen is NC changing and WN?

0900 for BBC News and the second half of GMT for BBC World News

The regions kick off the new look from 1300

I really don't see the need to keep Breakfast the same and wait for 0900.

didn't Breakfast still have it's 2008 - 2013 look on the day when the BBC moved to NBH?

I would think that 08:30 in 4 mins we may see Reith on BBC News Channel as we have Business Live?

Don’t think it’s been mentioned - Hard Talk last night had straps in Reith similar to The Nine.

Not long now!
So I guess the News at Nine on BBC Two/News Channel is the first programme with the new look, right?

Seems they've started to reformat the content on the ticker - the INTERACTIVE and CONTACT US sections seem to have some odd formatting - looks a bit like where the graphics for the various social networks can't be loaded.

It only caught my eye cos of the reference to "News Watch"

EDIT: Only about headline stories on the ticker too (also added missing word to post)
