BBC regional news - Now with added Reith

Could they be doing upgrades in the studio ready for BBC London's new look?

Blimey, you know things are bad when even the real elements in a VR studio look fake.

Makes sense I suppose, then the two programmes will look totally different despite both having skyline backgrounds

Well, it's difficult for modern computing power to reproduce the sort of colours and patterns that appear in Asad's wardrobe

Are the new regional titles based on the ones from the early 2000s?

I think all these title sequences have their roots in 2002 (and even further, 1999 - the spinny maps).

I don't think we've seen the new regions titles anywhere yet, but I'll assume it's a hybrid of the 2008 style - by hearing the phrase 'easier to edit' it doesn't inspire me with confidence, sounds very much like the old BBC London titles from 2005 or the regions titles from 2002, I felt both of these were very dull.

Unless the actual animation of the titles is now a tga or png sequence and the region simply inserts their clips below the template and animates them thus reducing render time and the ability for regional programmes to make mistakes.

Don't know about other regions but Look North Leeds headlines don't match 100%.

I’ve just seen the on screen graphics for BBC London and they look amazing!

Very reminiscent of the titles from 2002.

Using your image as reference, it seems a lot of regions have had to emulate their own versions to match the national style.

I notice Hull didn't follow the stylistic guidance of having the headline over two lines aiming for a shorter word or phrase on top.

The South East Today mix it is.

"Welcome to a slightly new look North West Today".

That about sums it up.
