RE: BBC News Channel/BBC World News Merger - Newsroom - 02-04-2023
Are we having a new thread or are things done differently in this residence.

No send off from Shaun Ley on his last appearance from the national lunchtime bulletin...

In my opinion better for a new one to be started at the point when the 'new' channel soft launches, so that we can all keep track of the changes.

It's confirmed that the soft launch will happen at 0900 tommorow. The last WN only bulletin will be at 0800.

It's time to go to bed early tonight for those hoping to capture the final moments of WN.

Is anything actually changing on screen tomorrow? I got the impression that nothing is changing, at least for the first few months - hence "soft launch" and no "big bang" start. No new graphics, no revamped sets - just the reduction in on-screen personnel and the clumsy balancing of international / domestic news.

It was reported that Lucy Hockings will get her branded show tomorrow. Also, Christian Fraser said that from tomorrow, The Context is back as 2 hour-long beast.
In terms of on-screen graphics, I understand from various reports posted here that nothing really big, but some adjustments will take place:
- High definition recreation of a globe
- No headlines
- New Chameleon-styled countdown
- BBC News red square in the intro is about to be replaced with a Chameleon-styled label, although not clear if this will be tomorrow or later. One might assume this also means repositioning of the globe, first since 2008.
I wonder why they haven't updated NC and WN schedules yet (at least about Lucy and Christian). May be tomorrow they will close both schedules as archival and open a new one, titled "BBC News", with UK as an additional region for the new channel (alongside Americas, Middle East, etc)?

Maybe the launch of the new strands are delayed...
