i'm surprised no one has noticed that the 10AM countdown gave times for tonight - it started with 22:00 BBC News. I think people on here are getting to caught up in the new graphics to even notice what they have on them.


They've always done this.

I'm sorry, but sod the flashy graphics. Where's the "new approach in providing news" which was the whole purpose of this relaunch?


I have already said it, and will say again - give the channel at least 24 hours before making a judgement on its overall content.



No, I don't see why I should give it at least 24 hours. It's not as if the public is going to do that. It's a news channel for pete's sake. Most people will only watch it for about 10 minutes a day, if that.

I can imagine a two-line stap becoming available for major news - we've already seen that the big strapline can shrink up and down - so potenially 2 lines of text are available. I'd say it would be something like:

ROYAL DEATH
HRH Elizabeth II has been found
dead at Buckingham Palace.


Somehow a Royal death would not occur like that, especially if it was the Queeny!

Confused Shocked

Just how else are they meant to promote the multiscreen service?

Anyone care to make any suggestions, or will all the same faces make all the same old bitches?

Seriously impressed with the little ticker. It's giving the full S.P. on the story of Ruth Ellis, while not detracting from the flow of news.

Hey peeps.

Hope this is all right *big night last night* anyhoo I managed to grab a fairly high quality version of the Countdown from 55. Is it my system or does the new music thunderclaps sound very poor on a surround speaker setup?
