Not to mention the Eastbourne International, and more Davis Cup coverage.

BBC's Idents on all of the channels are terrible now:
BBC One: Need I say anymore.
BBC Two: Too lazy to use any new idents and are using idents from the 80's/90's.
BBC Three: Online
BBC Four: At least some new idents are being introduced on the BBC channel the fewest amount of people watch. Oh well.
CBBC/Cbeebies: They shouldn't have changed the CBBC logo.
BBC Alba: Same idents from before.

One last question: Why is S4C on BBC iPlayer in Wales? BBC Don't own S4C do they?

The S4C Authority runs the channel, but the BBC pledges £74.5 million a year to the budget of S4C.

Not all BBC idents are bad (BBC TWO/THREE/FOUR are one example). CBBC has a decent coherent look to its current set - and I don't see the issue with CBeebies.

I wasn't necessarily saying the idents were bad, but in my opinion they just lack any sort of direction and are a bit poor compared to other idents from the last few years. Plus, you need to have good presentation on the main channel as much more people will notice and slate them. For example, on ITV, the idents outside of the main channel are not anything special, but the main ITV idents are pretty good and save the pres of the network. BBC One tried to replicate the ITV idents but miserably failed.

In that case you are one of only a handful of posters on TVForum who isn't saying that the BBC One idents are bad!

Eastbourne is after Queen's, and usually on BBC Two anyway.

And GB are out of the Davis Cup for this year having lost to France in April.
