New look to regional Ceefax

(well, in London anyway!) (March 2005)

Not quite sure whether to post this in the Newsroom or here - but has anyone else noticed a slightly new style to regional Ceefax on page 160?

I don't know if its the same across the country but here in London we've lost the yellow words at the beginning of each line of headlines... makes it look a bit nicer actually... don't know if its a permanent thing though.

I understand it's something to do with the automation of the transfer from the regional web pages, James.

Bristol changed a few weeks ago.

Oh right, Thanks Nick.

Another thing I've noticed now as well is if a regional story makes it on to the national ceefax service it now seems to be exactly the same word for word but used to be slightly different. This is for the same reason I suppose.
