In anticipation of the new programming from Monday onwards, I thought I would start a new thread to kick-off this next new phase of World's transition into 2010 (perhaps the old thread will be merged or locked at some point soon).
What are we all hoping from the new programming? As a life-long "World" watcher, I recall the days when each segment had it's own branding and titling. BBC Newsday. BBC Newshour. The World Today. BBC Newshour - Asia Pacific. BBC World News. Etc.....
When we became all "generic" and strawberry ripple themed at the turn of the last decade, waved goodbye to Lambie Nairn and said hello to David Lowe, I was initially a little disappointed. However, the new "generic-ness" grew on me and, even after more than 15 years of watching, it is satisfying to see that several of those initial pioneering anchors on World are still around to this day, through the red and cream and eventually onto today's current disjointed schedules, which always give the impression of randomness.
Looking forward to seeing some strong pillars established from next week onwards, hoping that credibility remains top of the agenda, hoping that it doesn't become all "Hala Gorani" with those mad hand-held dancing cameras, and hoping for some Lambie-esque orchestral arrangements to announce the arrival.
Let's see..........
