Did anyone else notice they added that violin element from the countdown to the beds during headline music? Sounds really cool, why isn't World using this.

Yes. It's subtle but enough to add an extra element to make it fresher and less harsh than before.

Indeed!

Is that from BBC1 HD?

So jealous, I want BBC WN to officially carry in HD as well!



I think WN is on HD (you will need to contact your pay-TV operator) but N24 is not and there are no plans to have it in the immediate future. You might not see N24's output on HD unless you tune into BBC2 HD which debuts next week.

I'm fairly sure that World do use it, although it's more subtle. It does make a big difference though!

Looking good.
Odd that on the tight shot at the 'newswall' it almost looks fake/CSO'ed. The bright white plastic area under the screens is possibly a little too bright.

Like the new ticker- very readable. And the simple animation for the astons add some interest to a dull package. Will be interesting to see how this work in rolling news channel mode...will the animation remain?

Ooh, a new nice little cross-platform promotion graphic.

That new logo is too small.

I guess the regions are not going to new style graphics, are they?

(North West Tonight ought to as they share their studio with Breakfast)


Is the box logo a LIVE graphic, like BBC WN?
(and can it be seen on BBC One?)

Apart from the 'press Escape to exit full screen' on view from Chrome!

I liked that too. Very slick.

Can't say I like the clock being the same colour as the BBC News DOG.

Right, I would also prefer the clock beeing grey or so.
