I actually think the clock looks better with the ticker. And better than its original position.

Does anyone know if anything will be done (in the new look) about incorporating the clock into the BBC NEWS DOG - being the same colour - it really does look silly the way it is at the moment (when the Ticker isn't present it looks ok with the Black backing - but when the ticker is overlayed the clock just looks like a black Blob slung anywhere).

Don't see what people's problem is here. The clock isn't "slung anywhere", it's tidily positioned next to the DOG. Looks fine to me.


But why not have it the backing the same colour as the BBC NEWS 24 DOG? Like when it was to the left of the DOG in 16:9 zone.
Random guess... cos then there's too much red compared to white!

Because it wouldn't stand out as well.

I like some of them, such as Look North NE&C, but grant you that they do look a bit disjointed. And who ever was put in charge of BBC London's rebrand Shocked


Laughing I believe that honour went to RedBee Media. Looks really cheap and nasty... so much worse than the original LDN look.

Agreed. Looking on TVNewsroom, that original position of the clock looks completely bizarre

Regional news bulletins will follow a similar format but will have splashes of blue in the opening titles in Scotland, green in Wales and white in news programmes across England, such as Look North and Midlands Today.

The 10 O’Clock and One O’Clock News programmes will share a new “crisp and modern” studio with the BBC’s rolling news channel – placing presenters such as Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce behind a more formal oval-shaped desk.

As well as renaming News 24 more than 10 years after its launch, the corporation will rebrand BBC World, the international news channel, as BBC World News.

So BBC World is actually being retitled BBC World News!? I though they were just changing the way they opened the bulletins, really bad decision.
