Is this an actual new look or something completely anti-climactic like an EU Referendum themed set of stings or something?

The latter seems very much the more likely.

I would guess that the graphics used recently probably do hint at what’s to come though. Now that Bill has left and things have settled and sorted with Dan in the big seat I'm sure there are plans to refresh the programme as a whole. Look at the new wipes that were used in recent weeks they've used the vivid orange more than the red, the mic cover seems to hint that orange is creeping in.

For me, the thing the programme needs most is a much bigger studio space to compliment any possible future new look!

That would be nice, but even in the current studio they could make better use of the space they have. I'm not a fan of the current set at all, it's pretty generic looking and doesn't offer a lot of opportunity for different presentation points beyond the business/weather screen at the far end.

I think there's more to it than that, we'll have to see what Friday brings!

Breakfast usually gets a set refresh every 4/5 years. But tbh the current set is fine, and replacing it would be a waste of money, it isn't tired looking imo.

It was tired the day it went in to be honest.

James did tweet about some new David Lowe music so we have that to look forward to at least!

Oh lets not have the "a new set is needed" thing again. It shares with BBC North West and until that stops it won't be happening.

I like the sound of going orange. I seem to remember titles etc. were orange whilst at TVC.

I disagree, something like the Glasgow set would work equally well for Breakfast and NWT.

But there isn't the space for that?

Slight error this morning with BBC One opting out of Breakfast for MOTD.

Roger & Sally did the standard spiel about Breakfast henceforth continuing on the NC only, and we got the closing sting. All as per usual, of course.

However, the end of the sting didn't linger for as long as it usually would, and the mix back to the Breakfast studio also went out on BBC One. We just about got to hear Roger say something like "Thanks for staying with us", before then abruptly cutting to a BBC One "coming up" slide/menu with the BBC One CA telling us that MOTD would be on in a few moments.

Slick.

I was surprised last night the end of the FA Cup titles DIDN'T get chopped by Pres. They started then froze, then started from the beginning again, adding about 15 secs to the end time
