Yes sorry, of course it's C. The 5 will be in C every day as E is rehearsing for the 6.
If this turns out to be the case, I wonder what the backdrop will look like. The London-esque backdrop will be understandable for those outside the UK (i.e. on WN) but for those inside?
I was hoping some of the problems I have with the BBC World News graphics would be fixed with the News Channel and domestic news moving in. Seems like they wont. <sigh> Swiss just feels wrong, and the character spacing feels too loose, and the ticker should have been given a larger font, not made All Caps.

Yeah I think it's a step backwards but they've done this before used swiss, but the agency Laimbie(sp?) always use Gills, and I think it was bbc global minds that got the ticker changed so I think news channel will end up using this, I personally think there are some flaws in these graphics but the sizing is correct and will adopt well in both SD and HD.

Well the ticker text was deemed too small by the audience views, but instead of increasing the text size, they just switched to Uppercase. The cheap and simple fix, but does not greatly aid readability!

I don't see the ticker being any bigger/smaller than that of Sky News TBH either.
BTW, we've now entered page 600 - and the final *full* day of the News channel from N6. Quite fitting.
The Sky News ticker in relation to the BBC News one is slightly bigger, to me I think the Sky ticker is more readable then the BBC one, I think the character spacing is too loose, but Ive been watching World for a few months on and off and you get use to it.
Edit: I forgot Sky News has two different varients the HD one and an SD, I was referring to the HD one.
Sounds like they are going to record some overnight and tomorrow they will be dismantling everything that exists in BBC Weather Centre, so I think it will be pre-recorded with the current and soon to be old graphics.
We have been talking about the final national news on the National News thread, I forgot to ask... What will happen to Dateline London, and What studio will they use?
(Sorry, I have not seen the latest DL on BBC WN...)
