Excellent mock of the globe, brown and blue go well with the red swirls!


No it doesn't.

Is it just my imagination, or is the BBC Sport logo on the ticker stretched a bit too wide? I'm sure when it was used previously the text didn't touch the edge of the box as it does now.

Also, has the Business graphic been changed yet? Surely someone must have noticed how unreadable it is by now.

Yes the sport one does appear slightly pushing its luck with the bandwidth of the moral coil....

Have they got Marvin in again? They look half finished...

I'm not normally one to comment on Bore 24, but I was watching it last night and they used a studio I've never seen before for World Business Report or whatever it was. It looked huge, and had a big C-shaped desk. I'm not really a fan of the BBC News look but I thought it looked excellent. Is it new?

Thats the same studio as the one used for The World, just a different background. I believe that desk was introduced just before the general election. The studio is in the same studio/newsroom as BBC World

It looked as if the business ticker background had darkened a bit this evening and was almost viewable but now they've dropped the lot and gone back to the dark grey/blue for the bit under the tower for all tickers.

Went back to baby blue etc later in the evening!

in light of Anna Jones leaving, here is the new reshuffle I would like to see -

9.00am-12.00pm Chris Eakin + Kate Silverton (Mon-Fri)
12.00pm-3.00pm Simon McCoy + Karin Giannone (Mon-Fri)
3.00pm-6.00pm Peter Dobbie + Susanna Reid (Mon-Fri)
6.00pm-9.00pm Jon Sopel + Louise Minchin (Mon-Wed)
6.00pm-9.00pm Phil Hayton + Maxine Mawhinney (Thurs-Sat)
9.00pm Dermot Murnaghan + Jane Hill
(Nine o’clock News)
10.00pm-12.00am Alastair Yates + Mishal Husain (Mon-Fri)

do you think this would work?

Also, how do you rate Julian Worricker? I've never been too sure about him...

Excellent, however I would put Philip Hayton and Maxine Mawhinney on the weekends at that time.

It just looks awful, I can't believe BBC News 24 is persisting with these ticker colours.

Does anybody know what has happened to Maxine Mawhinney lately? I dont think ive seen her on News 24 since the general election.

She presented Monday to Wednesday from 1300-1600 this week. This is her usual shift. She'd been away for some weeks but IIRC she already returned last week.
