BBC News Channel: Presentation

One thing they haven't learnt is the Breaking News in the ticker.

Didn't they have to make it Red because people complained they didn't see the Breaking Stories in it - its now generic grey all the time.

One thing they haven't learn't - listen to the viewer.

Hopefully they will sort that out.

Is it really that necessary though? No.

Nice blog with countdown music in full: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/theeditors/2008/04/new_news.html

Breaking news sting heard, not as dramatic as the old one.

That link was posted earlier in the thread btw

What? The breaking news ticker is grey? Why?

Yep it doesn't go red. Something they haven't learned from last year!

It does look very ITN News Channel or is it me?

That breaking news ticker looks awful.

Ashley, thank you for capturing images this morning. It's much appreciated.

Why don't I get a thank you for all my BBC World caps!?

Oh! Those graphics are dreadful. They're intrusive and plain ugly. The previous set of graphics were far nicer and more stylish. These look amateur. I find the studio a bit heavy on the eyes.

Looks like I'll be migrating to Sky...

Thank you

Ident looks stunning on screen and brings a truly fresh feel to BBCNC (I refuse to say 'channel'). Countdown also looks good, if spoiled a tad by that obnoxious box, with an excellent new soundtrack to back it.

Looking at the astons, etc. I swear if I didn't know any better I'd stepped back to 1999! In some ways this is a good thing; I like the use of Gills Sans and the overall simplicity but I've seen more dynamic and imaginative ideas in the Mocks Forum. It all looks a bit boring but fresh all the same.

Now to get me 24 back
