So not an awful lot that we didn't already know... and no pics Sad

Interesting they mention the one and ten sharing a “crisp and modern” studio with N24, and it sounds like perhaps the six will look different?

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.

Green for Wales!!? Laughing Shouldn't it be red for Wales, green for NI?


Hurray! New titles finally in Scotland Laughing

More or less same palette as the 1999 rebrand but Northern Ireland is now orange and yellow.

Wales has never been green.

So nothing we don't know already, unfortunatley - other than details of personal life of a "glamorous Australian blonde" - Rolling Eyes the mind boggles.

Seems a bit odd that England has been given white as its colour, as it isn't really much of a colour (!) and it doesn't mention Northern Ireland at all. Just an oversight or is the regional output in NI different to the rest of the UK regions?

yellow.

Bad news on the BBC News 24 front! I understand they are trying to promote BBC News across all the channels and platforms but why change the title when it does exactly what is says... it provides 24 hour news!

Why change to BBC News or BBC News Channel... the average viewer at home will continue to call it BBC News 24 as will I!

Wonder then if we will see a new countdown to the top of the hour or perhaps under the new regime it will be eliminated completely and we will just getting more tedious trails and a few seconds of a holding slide until the top of the hour.

They can do what they like with the name and the studio as far as I'm concerned - but they're not taking our countdown away without a fight Evil or Very Mad

Ha ha - would be nice if they went back to a 90 second version as well! They were the days!

I'm guessing Wales regional branding will be green because red is already reserved for broader use in this branding, and so a unique Wales colour-code was needed? I'm not sure if that's it, but it sounds right.
