Has anyone seen the latest television promotion for BBC NEWS? And I really do mean anything to do with BBC News...

I've only seen it today after the News at One O'Clock, but without sound. It features the generic look, but covers much more of the Beeb's news output. Along the left hand side of the screen is a scrolling list of BBC services as follows:

Newsnight
BBC World Service
Today Programme
Six O'Clock News
BBC Radio Devon
Look North
BBC Radio 4

It seems they are extending the BBC News umbrella out even further. In fact, BBC Radio Kent has adopted generic BBC NEWS-style news jingles. Has this happened on other stations?
