Extended BBC ONE Idents - Sunday 23 January 2005

The long symbol into News 24 was due to waiting for a suitable opt in point.

The symbol into Songs of Praise will only be 12"

How did you know that - it was exactly 12 seconds?!

hmm me things I know who is doing the continuity today.

(Disclaimer: I could be wrong)

Wake up, boy!

Anyway ... are we to assume then that the basis of your "rebrand" theory was BBC One trying to sync itself with an opt-in point on a rolling news channel?

First thing I never suggested a rebrand, in fact I said there wouldn't be a rebrand. Secondly I was just commenting that the idents were longer than usual and thirdly is Eastenders a rolling news channel? You seem to be forgetting that it wasn't just ahead of the news that there were longer than usual idents.



What's that meant to mean? Is this Dan an insider?

no but he is chummy with the cleaners daughter's husband.

Wasn't the symbol before EastEnders quite long because the announcer said quite a lot?

He did, after 16 or so seconds of Bollywood

Haka was quite long (17.45), well for Haka anyway - it always seems to be a short ident. In fact to be honest with you that was the longest I've ever seen of Haka appx. 12-13 secs

You can never shut 'em up.

Perhaps BBC One just want to show viewers a bit more of what the station is about. I wish they could do this more often. How great would it be if new idents came along.

Even if the announcers do go on a bit they still didn't start until well past the usual duration of the ident
