BBC News thread

No.

No.

Not sure if i'm making a fool of myself here, but certain parts of the BBC Weather site have changed to the deeper colours discussed on this thread:

Well there were plans to beef up BBC Weather graphics in general IIRC. Not sure if it means much though as hasn't the BBC Weather website been threatening to change for ages?

Does anyone know if BBC News 24/World will be using the World set or the CSO set for the overnight bulletins on News 24? It seems to be randomly chosen which they use at the moment., but I want to know if the last bulletin using the old studio [design] will be at 12.30 or 4.30am (As 5-6am is from BBC World's Set).

Slightly unrelated but does anyone know if Breakfast's yellow will be removed from the titles any time soon?

One thing that hasn't been discussed in this thread (at least not in the last 25 odd pages!) is whether the new graphics set includes a permanent ticker or temporary ticker or none at all?

I'm assuming the predominance of red in the set will lead to a red "headline strap" as we currently have, but will this extend over the entire length of the screen? And what about the aston...are we looking at white on black as currently or black on white or some other combination? So many questions...

And also, what about the pre-news ident on BBC One. Will this appear on Monday?

Like I've said, going to reserve any sort of proper judgement until I've actually seen the whole thing... but it doesn't strike me as particularly gobsmaking... just a bit cramped and absolutely bloody freezing.

Think I had better wear some warm clothing on Monday morning, it looks as cold as some of the presenters.

Does anyone know if BBC set up one of those time-lapse cameras like they did when they built the 1999 set?

I wonder as to what extent the latest version of the BBC World Breakfiller is a precursor as to what the new graphics, and even music, will be like on monday. When it was introduced, there were comments made about how the orange and black did not fit well with the current pres, which then makes me wonder as to just how long the new titles and such have been in the planning, and why the new breakfiller was launched at the end of September when the main relaunch of pres on World is (we think) on monday?

Also, is it likely that graphics and titles will be identical on News 24 and World, or will there be a variation as there is now? Since the new News 24 titles have the globe in it and not just a map of the UK, then I would imagine that the titles will be shared.

What ident is this?

It was mentioned previously in this thread, and I seem to recall Asa saying something about it too.
