The BBC need to hire new graphic designers - their presentation and graphics on the News are just so dire and have been for too mamy years now - a 4 year old could do better
This slide just aired on Newsroom Live... It looks like it was literally made in PowerPoint.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they lifted it directly from a corporate PowerPoint (or played the PowerPoint out on the Web PC to air) about results.
But with automatic graphics/MOS (assume that’s how graphics are made at the BBC coded in OpenMedia and rendered when selected on Mosart) they could have done it much more elegantly and it would take what three minutes to type and and select a graphic of Huw?

It would be good if someone in the BBC News graphics department could build an on brand template for promoting programmes on BBC News, so correct logos, fonts, and layouts can be available!
I haven't been able to see a lot of weather forecasts in the early morning for the last many months, but do any of them even come from Studio J, the balcony screen, any more? Or are they always either in front of the green-screen or in Studio C/E (News at Five, other bulletins) now? If so, it's a shame that the balcony studio can't seem to handle displaying the weather graphics any more, I always liked it when the presenter would say "let's cross the newsroom to <x> for the weather", but that seems to be just a thing of the past.
I think the more likely reason is that weather shifts have changed significantly since moving to NBH - morning forecasts now come from Salford (presumably by default unless Simon King is off). Afternoon forecasts are in the Studio because that is the feel they want to Afternoon Live. So during the week that doesn’t really leave much else and not all News Channel forecasts will be live.
As it currently stands, BBC News Fix website is coming to an end.
The site has been recording BBC News presenters for over ten years. The information currently there will remain online but, unless anyone comes forward to update it, it won't go beyond 2019.
