Budget 2021

Just hopping around the channels.

Jo Coburn fronting the BBC coverage, think it's the first without Andrew Neil for quite some time. Remains a "Politics Live" special rather than handly by BBC News. BBC News Channel is focusing on the Nicola Sturgeon situation instead, as are Sky News during PMQs. Adam Boulton on duty there.

Nina Hossain hosting for ITV - general ITV News look but with a ridiculously large and off brand "LIVE" DOG in the top left and a tweak to the astons.

Nice to see that the News Channel hasn’t been forced to abandon the Sturgeon coverage in order to take Politics Live, which I think is what they’ve generally opted to do in the past few years. With BBC World News also carrying on with their own programmes, it’s just like the good old days!

Does anyone know why itv used that weird out of place live BUG?

Er, to show that it was live?

Well yes obviously, but it was not the normal itv news live BUG it was one that didn’t fit with their usual graphics

It just didn't look good. Reminded me of a few years back when the BBC used to use seemingly oversized graphics on their coverage.
