That FTSE indicator looks awful; however, the rest of the BBC coverage is really impressing me.

They seem to be getting the national and international balance quite well; the FTSE indicator is 16:9 safe (I think!) and looks squashed. Do we all think that the next BBC News graphics will be outside of the 4:3 areas?

The FTSE Indicator has now been moved to the top of the screen and appears to be 4:3 safe. Both lines are equal sized font - FTSE 100 in grey with the value, indicator, value change and percentage change below in black.
Personally I'd have preferred it not to be 4:3 safe as it just doesn't look right - unless they choose to make it a discrete box rather than having the white space to the right between the edge of the content and the screen.

Whoops was running a few minutes begind and looks much cleaner and neater now as a box.
It's had a few tweaks, and is now in the 4:3 safe area, and at the top right. It looks a bit less messy now.
Late shift better at knocking up graphics than the early shift?

isn't it also outside the safe area? shoddy as ever work from the graphic design team.
It's about time all these luddites, with their set top boxes set to output 4:3 centre crop, are gently forced to realise they're missing something by using that mode. We've gone 13 years with that mindset on 'digital only' channels, how much longer do 4:3 safe images have to be produced, another 13 years ?

Oh I agree they should move to 16:9 graphics. I think they should have stood their ground on the clockgate saga tbh. Still the current graphics *ARE* designed with safe zones, thus any extra ones should respect this. Hopefully BBC News HD from BH will deal with such nonsense.
