1990 on BBC Four

I would think Ciani had other work commitments in the Autumn, much like Michael Hurll did with the Late Late Breakfast Show in the 80s - IIRC Brian Whitehouse produced some or most of the Autumn 1981,...

The Sound of TV with Neil Brand

BBC Four TV music programme

Problem with sports, and particular BBC Sport, was most of the iconic themes from the 1970's were library music and not composed for a particular sports coverage.

Cbeebies into BBC Four breakdown

Cbeebies breakdown slide appears just before Four startup.

This is normal. CBeebies and BBC Four share a video stream, so just before 7pm the video going to the encoder is switched from CBeebies output to BBC Four's output. At the same time the ID on the...

BBC Four Christmas Pres 2020

It's a bit of a shame that they don't do anything especially creative with the split anymore, though. Whereas the original set all used the four quadrants in a nice (and sometimes pretty subtle) way,...

BBC Four series on music in television

I was contacted by one of the production team earlier in the year, couldn't help much with their enquiries but hopefully did point them in the right direction at least. Looking forward to seeing this.

Dual Promotion of BBC2 and BBC4

On the subject of wierd BBC4 trails just seen one with the BBC4 logo in bright purple. Looked shockingly bad and was hard to see on many backdrops. (The BBC logo was still in white though)

BBC Four to become archive channel (p15)

Arts content moves to BBC2, BBC3 budget doubled

To be fair though, you could get away with BBC Sport as more of a service online anyway, since you've got tons of articles and videos regarding sport and it has it's own purpose as a website/app....

The Secret Story of the BBC Christmas Tapes

Sunday 23rd December - BBC Four

I guess the documentary was aimed at a particular audience. Yes, it could have gone into detail on many aspects but I think it was intended to be a surface look at the tradition, keeping the casual...

BBC Rebranding Idea (Coming Soon!)

I’m currently working on a BBC rebranding Idea. Do feel free to leave your suggestions here.

This is like those old ‘Under Construction’ pages you used to see on websites. Clicking on something interesting only to find a placeholder.

BBC Four: 'Inner Peace' Season Idents

BBC Four "finds inner peace" by showing 180-second idents of tranquil scenes

Sidetracking to STV - with their idents, when they're upscaled SD shown on HD, the 'HD' tag doesn't appear on the logo form-up. Probably a case of not scheduling the correct presentation for the HD...
