In the past, BBC News has tried to cater to 14:9 and some 4:3 parts of the world. 2013 was when the last set of graphics were designed, and the guidelines for international programmes suggest the standard 16:9 safe areas as used by Sky News, etc.

It is possible the next set will be designed to also fit those 14:9 safe areas.

Don’t get what’s so hard to understand about the idea that moving sport/news is on a case-by-case basis.


Well, indeed. And the most obvious point is that, as an 8.05 kick-off, it could move over at the very start of extra time rather than, as last time, halfway through it.

Except it wasn’t at the very start, it was messily about 1 minute into it.

They’ve obviously realised the situation in the last round wasn’t the best so changed their mind this time, rather than it being a case by case basis.

That’s one thing I wish they did. BBC needs to supply the US with either a straight out 16:9 widescreen feed or letterboxed 16:9 in a 4:3. Their 14:9 in 4:3 isn’t working well anymore especially as content is moving out of safe areas.

Rather amusing shot of Clive Myrie sitting in the newsroom eating his dinner complete with knife and fork in hand at the 7pm top of the hour. Very Happy

Did he lose track of time and not realise he was on air?
