I HATE the new look CBBC on One so far! It's so patronising! In fact, on the whole new CBBC has got worse, not better!

Yeah, I see what you mean. I quite like the idea of the presenters just saying 'cya - have a good evening' at 5.35pm. Got a feeling they're going to still be high on excitement at advertising the two channels though... Don't let it simply turn into CiTV please!

And the CiTV DOG is back - they had a different one from 3.25 which was bigger and basically just a blob. Hardly legible. Probably why it was dropped quick smart.

I agree with Whataday. The ident(s!) a bit low on imagination, the presenters are boring, but at least there's an extra channel coming out of all this! Wink The trailer style and on-screen graphics are the only exception and the soundtrack's the only thing with any variation - and even that's crap! I'll save the rest for Points Of View! Wink

Extra channel? But we've lost both BBC Choice & BBC Knowledge in daytime, and I know what I'd rather have!

its only BBC Knowledge in the day we missed
but its night time hours have extended, the programmes were just on a 3-4 hour loop anywho

The whole revamp reminds me of The Saturday Show- a load of TV people thinking they know what the 'youth of today' want. What they don't realise is that the average age of a CBBC viewer is 15, but they are aiming it towards 9 year olds!

I hope that they won't have an audience on Blue Peter all the time from now on!
