The ongoing discussions over in the Breakfast thread got me thinking.
Whilst we all agree that commonality and consistency is - by and large - a good thing, when you look at CNN and BBC World output, there are only a handful of hours per day when the “ generic house theme” is used. Otherwise, special identity programming appears throughout the day with their own unique graphics and music (eg Newsday, The Briefing, GMT, Impact, Biz Live, Talking Business, Global, Beyond 100, Outside Source, World News America, etc........)
Back in domestic, the 1, 6, 10 and weekends all have the same musical and graphical feel.
I’d like to see the 10 stand out a bit differently from the others, signaling its flagship status. I’d like to have a full orchestral version of the theme music used for the 10, same music but orchestral.
One wonders if BBC News has ever considered such an option for the 10. It would be simple to do and wouldn’t cost a great deal, if anything at all. Same base music.
Just a thought........
