Have a look at Bid TV's current graphics. I've never seen anything quite like it. About 35-40% of the screen is covered with graphics as they have yellow and black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Anyway, they are having a sale because they are moving studio and warehouse. I wonder how far they are moving and if they will change the look of the set when they do.

Not sure if this is just perception, but on my infrequent visits to these channels over the years I've noticed that quality of presentation (and quality of products!) have decreased - particularly more recently (probably since VM sold them).

Have they actually confirmed they are moving studios on air?

The ticker has mentioned that they are moving studio and warehouse and I expect the presenters have mentioned it during the warehouse clearance hours too.

It's odd that I have only seen this mentioned on Bid TV and not Price Drop or Speed Auction though who must share the same studio facilities and warehouse.

Price-Drop has another promotion though - chopping the cost of the phone call by 33% and the price of P&P by 25% for the month of August.

Price Drop TV have a worse studio than bid. Their screens have massive gaps in between them and they don't match up correctly. At least bid has the screen to a decent quality. On another note what about BID TV HD. Now that would be good.

And completely pointless.

Well today is the first time in new look studio from 6pm. At the moment Bid TV is using the first type of "bid-up.tv music. I wonder if they may go back to bidding up too as last night it was mentioned that there were new graphics on the way.

EDIT : The current presenter also said that the orange traingle would be on our screen for not much longer too. I hope they still use the triangle theme as this is what bid tv is all about.
