BBC News: Nations & Regions

Yep, English regions logo is red.

I know it's a few hours late, but here's Look North Leeds' lunchtime bulletin.

I LOVE the Reporting Scotland titles. Can't wait until 6.30 tonight!!

They really have wrecked NWT. The previous look was far superior.

I don't like the music used at all, it sounds like we've gone back to 1998, which I've never been a fan of. It's a shame to see the loss of the excellent (IMHO) North West Tonight titles. Let's just wait and see what Look East have to offer tonight, and with any like they will have updated the set in the Cambridge studios which is awful, in terms of both the set and the lighting used.

Arghhhhh....felt queasy watching the new North West Today titles. Does that mean we no longer have separate titles for lunch/6.30/10.30/Saturday/Sunday - they appeared to combine images from all the old ones?

I think this re-brand demonstrates just how empty all this branding talk really is, or how at least the BBC likes inconsistency. If they dropped the 24 and added 'news' to BBC World, why did they not rename the regions - BBC News North West, etc (not saying that sounds good, but it just seems illogical the way they have gone about this). Also interesting that on the astons, where 'BBC News' would be on the channel and BBC One bulletins, it has the regional name instead of BBC News, and no red box on the background images on NWT....so what's this about bringing everything together? Seems like a rubbish excuse for making unnecessary changes.

From what I have seen here it looks nice.

And in the Midlands >

They've done a good job with the studio. Music and headline bed though sound so dated.

So are BBC London the only region using the music that was posted on the BBC website last week then?

Thanks for posting the midlands ones. I wanted to see them

Reporting Scotland trailer there on BBC2. Slightly "techno" version of the music, rather than what was posted on Lowe's site. Same studio, no tweaks except the use of the new (blue) globe on the far left (camera's POV) screen.

Plus, to file under "Oops", ended with a reference to the "News Hour, starting with the Six O'Clock News " at the end . He paused as if he realised and wondered whether he should correct himself too.
