That's a heck of a lot of space being taken up by a big red lump.

It’s solid red unlike the normal lower thirds which are translucent black, which probably doesn’t help.
Maybe they should've used translucent red?
Moz, Johnnie and DeMarkay gave kudos

Quick comment from me:
Why still 4:3 safe.


They're 14:9 safe.


That's even worse, 14:9 has been irrelevent since DSO finished. 7 years ago.


Not across the Wold - with many different carriers and suppliers its even more important than ever...

It’s probably just me, but I reckon this looks nicer than the regular lower thirds.

OK, I take this back slightly, when it's used for an extended amount of time it does feel like it's dominating the screen.

I see they've taken the white bar from Sky News and actually done something with it.

Personally while it's modern and a lot more slicker, it's all way too large and makes Sky News sensible in comparison with their lower thirds.

Turns out Reporting Scotland, Wales Today and possibly Newsline has the new graphics.
Just spotted Reporting Scotland using the new graphics (with a blue bar logo) before the News at One titles.
No new titles for Scotland or NI, it seems. Wales Today however updated theirs with Reith.

So the headline text from the News Channel now appearing on the national headline sequence.

The headline text was also included in the regional headline opts too - the red box changed from BBC News to BBC London.

Look East Norwich (using the old Aston kit) doesn't have the text wipe animations for the headlines, the graphics complete with black shadow just faded on and off. I don't know, but it didn't look quite right.
