I like the new graphics for 60 Seconds but the news stories aren't very relevant - what has Russian and Chinese new stories got to do with us?
Also, I absolutely HATE this public announcer business. It's common and tacky. I really do prefer a professional announcer.
On the whole, a bit disappointing but it will grow on me. I like the graphics, idents and logos though.

60 seconds with a horrid pink 'tongue' of the logo gradually extending across the screen - IMO, nicht gut. The yoof IVC looks to be generally unmemorable, but I had figured as much.
This may take some getting used to - doesn't look to be my cup of tea at all...But, I'll give it a chance.

The cynical viewer might think that. The observant viewer would have noticed that there was a proper in vision continuity announcer (in front of a CSO) who opened proceedings.

So the 'viewer links' would be a convenient way on saving on the cost of a continuity announcer. (Yes I'm being cynical.)

That's quite generous. BBC Three has always been a joke. By the sounds of it, it's even more so. I'm the target audience, but there was never anything I wanted to watch before the relaunch and, having looked at the forthcoming schedules, that track record isn't set the change. Bring back Choice and Knowledge. While I like BBC Four, neither it nor three appeal to a wide enough audience and, as such, add a suitable amount of value. Choice and Knowledge were essentially just repeat channels, but I found I watched them quite a bit.

Congratulations BBC you've manage to turn a half decent entertainments channel into a CBBC for teenagers.

To me, it looks like a second launch rather than a re-launch (if that makes sense) with new shows and new continuity. However, that bright pink blob and Facebook/Myspace style video links to programmes are starting to put me off the channel. If they got rid of Two Pints and Family Guy, I'd be shooting my television as we type.
