BBC News Rebrand - This Monday

Indeed I described the picture but would never dream of posting it. Whoever did was a little silly.

So I assume, this is the week where we should expect to see the Press Releases and Press Photos...

Also looks like the floor is light-grey... I didn't think it would work but with such a dark backdrop it's fine!

So come on then - on a busy weekday, when N6 falls down for some reason, where does N24 and the nationals move to?

Tomorrows Sunday papers to be precise. Apparently The Observer will have alot of coverage because of Media Guardian links. I expect the Telegraph will give it a decent look in too.

I suppose the first choice would be to use TC7 as long as it was after Working Lunch had finished. They then would have to either simulcast Newsnight or BBC World if N6 was still not use able by then.

I would say, they move back to N8? (Soon to be BBC World News's Studio) and BBC World News would move into their 2nd Set or into a temporary virtual set.

Well it was hinted that we should look out in this weekends papers, and with Saturday over that would suggest the Sunday's.

So why would you simulcast Newsnight but not Working Lunch? In many ways Newsnight is more about 'current affairs' than news, i.e. searching for news no one knows about yet, and lots of people are interested in the business during the day, as the BBC Business expansion has proven.

Unless the editors plan to go back in time

Yes, but does the BBC update their Press Office site on a Sunday?

I suppose there is no real reason why you would not simulcast Working Lunch, I was getting confused thinking it started at 1pm one day a week but its 1.30 so that would work.

The article isn't that interesting anyway. Most of the tidbits have already been posted in this thread. Another point which I don't think has been posted, is that the rebrand cost just under £500,000. And that's it, really.



The system is automated anyway.
