So far this morning, I like what I see. Definitely improved somewhat over the first week. .


I agree, only because it had a LIVE camera near me

Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but has the music been tweaked ever so slightly?

In what way?

The long titles has a continuous note at the start (with the 'ding ding ding dings') but that's all I've noticed.

They must ahve been low for time this morning because they used the sting at the 8am TOTH, rather than the titles. What happened to the short titles too? Not seen them in weeks. Only the long one gets used now at 8am.

As for the new site. Not sure. I'm glad the purple has gone, but it's too flash now... ALSO, can't help but notice...

Yes I forgot I noticed the lack of titles at 8am this morning, disappointed with that, I wonder if there was a problem although Adrian & Christine jumped straight into the toth headlines.

I didn't notice any change in music as such unless they used the theme further towards the end of the track (if you know what I mean).

I wondered where I saw them colours, I kept on thinking Seven Sunrise, but no it was your mock, I wonder a change in colour scheme has been organised?

when the page loads for me I get the original yellow colour they had on the website, not sure if anyone else will notice, because my internet is loading slowly tonight

Today they have lost the purple/blue background - it's now an orange/yellow picture

Also this morning on the programme, they did the bit where they say there more online and show the website loosely, it was the older version compared to the one yesterday

I don't understand why they don't have regional bulletins every 30mins the same as BBC Breakfast, perhaps this is a move towards that.

I would've thought that the production team would welcome even more breaks in the live presentation from the London studio. Chiles & Bleakley seem to do better when they only have 3-4 minute segments to fill before throwing to either a report, regional news, commercial break or another live reporter in the studio.

That may be unfair, as I'm sure BBC Breakfast is broken down into small enough segments to allow the presenters to prepare 'off camera' as much as possible. However, it just seems to me that the presense of the main presenters on Daybreak is rather less than on the BBC.
