That wasn;t what I was saying, I was using the presenters as just an example, but as I said before building a brand over ten long years, and then renaming it, is a mistake,

I'm not saying that it wasn't a bad decision - I believe it was. However, I don't think that after less than a week of presenter's getting it wrong sometimes after 10 years of saying it, I don't think on that alone can we brand it stupid.

Yeah but it's not like it's going to cause people to switch off in their droves. Do you seriously think there is any confusion from a viewer's point of view? It's still news from the BBC, give it a few weeks and the 24 will be a distant memory.

maybe not in droves, but it sure dosen't feel like a 24 hour channel, the channel has gone from very relaxed in 1997 to very stuffy and boring between 1999-2003, they hit the right note between 2003-2008, but now its stuffy an boring again, they also need to make 9:30pm a World News roundup, its really odd watching two totally different sets.
