And if they could ensure the volume on the idents' music on HD comes back up after the announcer's finished - rather than being barely audible, that would be nice.

Both Comedy Central and Comedy Central extra which opened for the day at 9am are using the old idents and presentation.

There was some talk that the new look might launch at 6pm tonight, but still nothing - wondering if we will see a new look at all at this stage. Mad

When Paramount Comedy rebranded to Comedy Central, the full rebrand didn't happen until 9pm (although bits of Comedy Central branding did appear before then).

No change at 9.

IMO it'll probably start at 10, when New South Park is on.

In the meantime, I'm off to watch Paul O'Grady.

What a bummer.

Do we reckon they've bottled it then? The idents tested/mistakenly broadcast the other night look decidedly ropey and some way away from the irreverent persona they've attempted to convey since 2009.

One of the stated motives behind the idents was to try and do something they wouldn't usually do. Brave to a point, but what they've ended up with seems very off-brand and just, well, bad...

Still no new look at 10:30 - I really beginning to think the new look has been cancelled.

Old presentation used just now at 11pm This was the last junction of the day...

The old train ident was used today at 9am during the start up. The new look must have been shelved.

Not sure which country these Comedy Central idents are from - the boat ident could be added to the UK batch to freshen up the package since the new look is more than likely cancelled.

Yeah, the boat ident would fit well with the current ones.

Can't really see the new look launching now myself. Was there ever any noitice of the new look on there website?
