Might be a little bit off topic but am I the only one here who imports BBC News themes to the music library on phones so I can listen to it anytime? 😬

If I wasn't so OCD about bit rate quality, and having a complete package of each programme, I probably would too.
But instead, I use them as phone and notification ringtones.

And I thought I was the only one doing that!

BBC News: Reith Style

Do like the darker version, but wouldn't ditch the lighter version completely. I do like it when news programmes use the simple trick of the look getting darker throughout the day as a simple way to add a little bit of distinctiveness to some rather generic branding.


Agreed. I also really liked what the VRT did for many years, which was to use different colours depending on the time of day, as you can see in the video below (which dates from their 2013 rebrand):

As a Belgian, I was so sick and tired of this approach, given that they already used it back in 2002, carried it to their 2008 rebrand, and then 2013. The design they have now is much more constistent. But I do agree that progress in terms of decor is nice. VRT still has this in a way. Their news broadcasts now project a clear bright skyline of Brussels (at 13.00 & 19.00). Time progresses a bit outside when their second channel news broadcast, 'Terzake' (at 20.00) airs, but after 'Terzake', there is 'De Afspraak' (At 20.35) turns well and truly night-newsy
