BBC News Channel Presentation - 21/03/16 onwards

He's Helvetica'd out.

You do know that could be anywhere in the region of January-March!

Pardon me for being excited about an upcoming presentation change on a TV presentation forum.



I'm an optimist, what can I say...

You sounded more demanding than excited. 'They said it'd be early 2019' - it's 1st January, I think we can give them some leeway.

I was joking! Obviously.

I'd have thought they would go for the Monday of the first full week of the year (7th January). I know this isn't the best place for this question, but isn't there supposed to be a new studio for Breakfast on the horizon?

There is more behind-the-scenes development work going on with the news website. I’d expect the font to be rolled out as part of that. Hence why it’s not just a case of toggling a switch now it’s January 1st.

Cameras out of place again on the BBC News at One, at the quarter-past hour, except this time, rather than moving the cameras around, all you hear is Kate Silverton saying "alright where are you?" and then James Cook's report immediately being played.

I’m surprised they haven’t made the main BBC homepage Reith yet. You’d have thought as it’s only one page, and the shop front, they’d used the ‘new face of the BBC’ there by now!

I could be wrong but I could have sworn around this time last year either James Mobbs or Chris Cook (or someone else of their ilk at the BBC) hinted at Reith being rolled out across BBC News by November, as in end of 2018. Obviously we should never take such Tweets as gospel! Unless I have mis-remembered.

How dare you call them an elk! And, may I remind you, you only get a gnu with Ty-Phoo.

Oh, Ilk. You said Ilk. Sorry.

A font is a font. The vast majority of the viewing public won't even know their Arial from their Wingdings.

Two stories just now in a row that aren't news.

Some dancer gets beaten up shocker.

New TV programme for dance on BBC One shocker.

Sometimes 24/7 news just isn't worth the investment.
