The "Credit" strap just appeared, empty like the Live strap. This is going well.

Anyhow I suspect this is a mistake, or a test. The names are still in all caps, which they're not in some of the more detailed mockups, and the timings appear to be for the current package. The name captions need to stay up for slightly longer to account for the animation.

It clearly hasn’t. Someone’s pressed the wrong button and they’re rolling with it. Expect it to be back to normal after the Ten.

All the graphics except name captions don’t seem to be working, they are just blank boxes

Names weren’t all in caps - where a person had a title that was in Title case with the name in upper case...

I can't be bothered to paste everything again so ill just link my post in the NC thread, it repeats someone else's video from earlier but included some of the other bits

Yes, the main bulletin is using the new Reithed graphics.

The NC briefly showed the new lower thirds before removing them...

It’s awful especially when it’s just a name graphic please go back to the usual graphics.

I have a feeling that someone from BBC News has been spying on The Gallery Rolling Eyes .
