My engineering knowlege isn't quite as good as it ought to be; but d'you think the horizontal bars in the logo are meant to represent horizontal sync pulses (or do they look different?)

Naa - just think their playing with the "E" figure. Looks familiar though - another brand must do something similar.

Ah well. I'll just have to refer to it as a zebra crossing.
Or perhaps some sort of subtle reference to the 'fins' on the side of the Broadcast Centre?

I'm sure there'll be a press release to explain everything.

I'm slighly puzzled, BBC Broadcast was sold to Creative Broadcast Services, but what will happen to the BBC Channel's playout etc.. Confused

Creative Broadcast Services was pretty much just a holding company that Macquarie Bank used to purchase BBC Broadcast.

BBC channels (and the other channels which BBC Broad.. er.. Red Bee Media transmit) will continue to be transmitted by the new company.

Looks like the stripes of a Bee forming the letters

Wonder if we'll now get a buzzing noise in the background of their channels?

Does that mean Pam Masters' job title changes to "Queen Bee"?
