BBC News Rebrand - This Monday

Yeah BBC Newsline has Washington, New Delhi and Johannesburg as well. The music has not changed that much for BBC Reporting Scotland either! I see that the superb theme for BBC Wales Today is back - the best out of the lot IMO.

Which translates to Inverness.... if you see what I mean. Infact with the amount of changing going on, I'd say it's hard to pinpoint what the final broadcast versions may be - obviously the audio clips are the final versions, but the visuals - well... as you've seen aren't the final signed off versions.

Just look at the BBC London titles that were on the BBC News website, the music on those has changed for all the English regions.

I remember a few years ago making a mock where I blocked out the numbers from the first ever live action 2003 countdown with a massive BBC News 24 logo in a red box. It looked absolutely terrible. I never thought I would see it on screen 5 years later.

Are these cutting off before the end for everyone or is it just me?

They were for me when using Netscape but they're fine in IE.

EDIT: Sorry didn't check; thought they were the audio ones; I think the videos all cut off yeah...

Yeah, same for me.

Thanks

Ditto - think we will have to wait until Monday...not long to go now. I am just hoping the faded '10' looks far better than the images are on here. I also hope that Reporting Scotland's much awaited facelift does not turn out to be a flash in the pan either! However, I also really hope that the cracking set of titles for North West Tonight at the moment are not replaced by a new crappy dated set!

540 is the News at Ten titles...the audio cuts off at 10 seconds but the video continues for about 2 more allowing you to see a bit of how the 10 will animate in the titles...the rest is up to your imagination!

Not sure what I think about the new countdown - the sound effect which accompanies the red line is the main problem, I can't stop thinking of the title sequence for Challenge Anneka when I see it lol

That music for WNT, is that going to be used across all versions of the bulletin or will the BBC Four version continue to have its own mix?

It's got a bit more punch than the current BBC Four bed, so I could see it being used for the other WNTs. I think the current BBC Four bed is a bit underwhelming, and this is probably why World don't use it (where they have the choice).
